Ubiquiti Flex G3 Camera Mount and Cover

thingiverse

Not really feeling confident with the 'weather-proof-iness' of the Ubi Flex G3 camera, I made this cover to protect it from the direct rain and also from the sunlight. The angled mounts angle to the side, and down a bit so that the camera clears the fascia on the house. The tube just sits in the rebate on the base, and then when the dome is pushed on top it tightens the tube down. There is a slot and a hole in the base for drainage in case the water comes in. The opening in the dome is enough so that it doesn't cause any vignetting at all, even if the lens is angled down to the minimum setting. The dome swivels with the camera for side to side adjustment. There are some bonus angle mounts included for the camera without the cover. I found that the camera itself had to be angled down by 30 degrees to cover things immediate below it. I used these under covered areas where I didn't need the whole dome cover setup. You need to print: - The base - One of the three variants of angle mounts (left, right, straight) - The tube - The dome Assembly: - Feed the cable through and attach the wall mount to the wall using masonry screws or similar. The hole in the wall mount fits a RJ45 connector without a boot through. - Screw the printed base to the printed wall mount, using two screws (the vertical two above the RJ45 hole) - Pull the ubi-supplied wall mount off the bottom of the camera, then use the ubi-supplied screws to attach the ubi-supplied mount to the printed wall mount. These are the two small screw holes under the RJ45 hole. - Plug in the RJ45, then place the camera on the ubi-mount. It slides on two tracks, so you need some vertical room (approx 20mm) above the top of the camera to allow this. - Screw in the ubi-supplied screws into the bottom of the printed base, through the ubi-supplied mount into the camera itself. Ubiquiti refers to these as 'security screws'. One is visible in the photo attached to this thing. - Place the tube on the printed base, sliding it down around the camera - Push the dome down over the tube rebate. This causes the tube to tighten on the base and grip it.
