Other issues are that the case must have an interface to mounting on a not quite vertical tree trunk, which means for you to avoid a misaligned image, must be capable of fine adjustment after fixing. For the best picture quality, a Raspberry Pi 4 is the perfect choice. That said, you’ll get good results from a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as well, and it’ll be easier to install. Whichever you choose, we recommend using the Raspberry Pi Lite (Legacy) OS. The project uses the raspivid tool, support for which is limited in the latest version of the OS. The Legacy ‘Buster’ image still has full compatibility. You can find it in Raspberry Pi Imager under ‘Raspberry Pi OS (Other)’. Set up Wi-Fi, and make sure everything is up-to-date with sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade. 02. Install and configure your camera The IMX477 camera’s dimensions have increased from the previous model, measuring 38mm by 38mm, versus 24mm by 23mm for the Raspberry Pi camera V2. This is due to the fact that a compatible C-mount adapter was added so various interchangeable lenses can be screwed in place. This also permits the user to add CS lenses to the camera.
Inside the case and with the Raspberry Pi 4 secured in place, we use adhesive thermal pads to connect aluminum heatsinks from the CPU and USB chip to the case. We found during our tests that the heat from the board is conducted via the heatsinks and spread to the top layer of the case, using the fins to increase the efficiency of the heat removal process. A magnetic hatch on the top of the case provides access to the GPIO, a colour coded GPIO with all the pin references printed on the case! HATs can be used with the case but you may need to use a header extension to ensure that the board clears the aluminium top of the Argon One M.2. Just next to this GPIO hatch is a small slot useful to route the Pi Camera and official display cables through. Coding the project is super simple, and to help you get started we've created a GitHub repository dedicated to this case. The GitHub repository takes you through setup, basic commands and full Python project examples showing the PIR module and camera working together.
This allows your Pi to have 2-4 cameras to work in frame-level synchronization ( all 2/3/4 channels capturing at the same time), great for stereo vision and applications that demand multiple cameras. 8. CSI-to-USB Converter This little fish came a little close for comfort. Getting a clear image may take a few goes to get the best results 05. Build the video streaming server Think about all the potential projects to make if you can just grab any camera module 3, hook it up with a converter board, and turn the camera into a UVC-compliant USB device for hardware that is way more powerful than Pi or boards that does not feature CSI-2 camera interfaces.
The Wildlife Cam Case is ideal for nature camera projects, of course, but it’ll also be useful for anyone who wants to take their Pi outdoors. It has weatherproof lenses that are transparent to visible and IR light, for all your nature observation projects. Its opening is hinged to allow easy access to your hardware, and the case has waterproof access for cables. Inside, there’s a mount for fixing any model of Raspberry Pi and camera, as well as many other components. On top of all that, the case comes with a sturdy nylon strap to make it easy to attach it to a post or a tree.
If you are using a Raspberry Pi 4, you may realise that with a more powerful processor, it runs rather hot! We have a range of enclosures that will prevent thermal issues; we recommend the Little Bird Armour Case with Dual Cooling Fan! The assembled case. Now the camera is protected from the elements, whether it be in a fish tank or outdoors 07. Start at boot
The SilverStone Pi02 is a case for those that wish to use their Raspberry Pi 4 as a desktop computer or as a server. It provides great cooling and while it may not look fancy, it does have a robust, industrial look to it. Naturebytes are making their weatherproof Wildlife Cam Case available as a standalone product for the first time, a welcome addition to the Raspberry Pi ecosystem that should take some of the hassle out of your outdoor builds. Locate the rubber O-ring and place it on the base so it sits in the ridge provided. Take the clear cover and place it over the base, and secure it with the M3 nuts and bolts. We recommend going across each one rather than around the base; it will ensure a more even fit. Again, be careful not to over-tighten the screws. Snap the outer cover over the clear cover. Take the small rubber grommet and, very carefully, feed the ribbon cable through, threading it through the grommet until it meets the base. Insert in the slot and secure with the metal plate. You now have a waterproof case. 10. Mount your waterproof cameraHaving great megapixels and wide lenses is always great, but not all projects can benefit from those features. Sometimes all you need is a low-cost camera to see better at night or in low-light situations. In this case, the Raspberry Pi Infrared Camera Module is the best option available. This is not an official Raspberry Pi camera, but it was built like it so you can be sure that it is fully compatible with the device. This tutorial was inspired by the Entaniya waterproof case for the Raspberry Pi Camera Module. This case protects the Camera Module without distorting the image. With it, we can submerge a camera into the depths of an aquarium and keep an eye on our fishy pals by streaming video. If that doesn’t appeal, you can adapt this tutorial to be able to monitor a video stream of anything you like, whether it be indoors or outdoors. Combined with Home Assistant, you can soon be monitoring your cameras from anywhere in the world. 01. Prepare you Raspberry Pi It is by far the best case I have found for any purpose. Very easy to insert the board, puts zero strain on the connector or anything else, unlike many camera cases. Easy to mount and align because of the screw holes in the hinge (which you can reverse if needs be to help with cable alignment). Judicious use of silicone sealant as you put the two halves together and then carefully around the lens hole ought to do it?
