Pi Zero Spy Camera

prusaprinters

<p>This makes a compact "spy" camera from a Raspberry Pi Zero W and the Adafruit Zero Spy Camera for Raspberry Pi Zero. The software is MotionEyeOS by Calin Crisan. Details and links in the description below.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I  used Fusion 360 for this project. Thank you Autodesk for letting me  play with your amazing tool! </p> <p><strong>NOTE</strong> The Fusion 360 file attached as a ".f3d" file but the extension should actually be ".f3z" but the web site didn't like that one ... you will need to rename it to use it in Fusion 360</p> <p>The design is completely parametric, meaning that none of the dimensions  and constraint values are applied directly to the design, all are  references to the User Parameters. This means that if you wish to change  something you should be able to adjust the desired parameter and the other values should adjust to compensate. At least that is the  intention. </p> <p>I have included the Fusion 360 model as well as a STEP export of the  model for those that wish to build or improve on this. </p> <p>The PiZeroW model I pulled from one of the ones I found on Grabcad, I  believe it was this one: <a href="https://grabcad.com/library/raspberry-pi-zero-w-board-1">Raspberry Pi Zero W  board</a></p> <h3>Materials</h3> <h3>Hardware:</h3> <p><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3400">Raspberry Pi Zero W</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3508">Zero Spy Camera for Raspberry Pi  Zero</a> MicroSD card</p> <p>USB power supply, microUSB </p> <h3>Software:</h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos">MotionEyeOS</a> Go to the  <a href="https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki">WIKI</a> and follow the links  for Supported Devices to find the Pi Zero image file.</p> <h3>Setup</h3> <p>The  Adafruit Spy Camera has a short ribbon cable included. Attach the  camera to the Pi using this cable. Bend the cable sharply at the Pi  connector end and wrap it to the back of the PI. There is a small self-adhesive spot at the back of the camera, remove this and stick it to the back of the Pi. Be sure to stretch the cable fairly tightly so that it aligns with the hole in the case bottom. There is some leeway  available but it should be pretty tight. </p> <p>Follow the MotionEyeOS instructions to install the software. I used a  <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P3D6Y5B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">64GB  High Endurance MicroSD  card</a>. </p> <p>This could also run off a battery power supply. A large one could  probably power it for quite a while.</p>
