IPi VRT by FFFTechnology

简介

Previously, all my IPi camera models were designed with the intent of pure utility; little to no care was had for aesthetics during the design processes. Normally, I'd design a camera to use the least amount of plastic for it's size, whilst being a small as possible. Basically, each iteration was designed for simplicity and function. This is the IPi VRT. (Vertical) The design presented isn't an iteration of the previous models; it is it's own design.This model is made for the technical minded consumer, while having the style and simplicity for the interior decorator inside us all. There are no hard edges, with the camera body and ceiling mount blending together to give the appearance of a singular structure. With today's smart home technology being built with more sleek lines, and more organic in shape, this security camera fits in quite well. On the mechanical design, this camera is designed to mostly snap fit together, requiring only two M2x8mm screws for mounting the camera module. The ceiling mount is also a rotational bearing; both pieces being printed as one part, unable to be separated. This makes the mount durable, while allowing reliable 360° rotation. The hardware is the same as previous models. A Raspberry Pi Zero W, along with a V2 Camera Module. This design requires a 125mm ribbon cable minimum. Since the ventilation holes are kept to a minimum, I would suggest a small heatsink for the Pi's CPU. I now exclusively us motionEyeOS for my IPi models. It's proven…
