Fake Camera

thingiverse

Do you like to have a camera in your garden for your burglars? You know: Most available wireless cameras works not encrypted. Your burglar can drive with his car watching his monitor, near your garden he will have a view inside. So he can find out easily if you are in vacancy, if a dog, where the most weak window to come in. Some WiFi cameras use the UPnP mechanism of your firewall. So you can watch your garden by any internet connection. Combination of weak default passwords and software bugs also provide full access to burglar mafia networks. Also they can watch your garden if you are in vacancy or if you're sleeping with your girlfriend outside. A camera will not help you for burglars. When they are coming, they are coming. When you are in vacancy, maybe you don't like to watch your garden day and night. If you have a combination of camera and motion detection, the system will disturb you in the night when a cat or fox is coming in the garden. And, what's about privacy? Your boss, NSA, Trump's muslims, all are watching you??? Here is the perfect solution for your problems: a fake camera. Schematic shows a LED flashlight. It flashes permanently, extreme long battery lifetime. Normally I take used weak batteries It runs over months with no extra cost. New battery will run some years. An option in the schematic will make a very fast flashing, you will see a permanent light. This schematic contains a voltage doubler, you can run a (ultrabright!) LED, normally 1.5V with a weak 1.2V battery. Or, you'll take 2 batteries and a blue or white LED. Add a fake cable if you like and the burglar sees a real camera. That's all you need, and it provides full privacy. Print: Should be no problem. I have tested in ABS and PLA. In the design, there is a gap of 0.5mm included between lid and case. Different size .STLs. Numbers are the mm in the outline. In .SCAD file it can be selected freenly.
