Recommended Essentials:
The PIR Camera Case makes it easy to create a motion-sensing camera project with your Raspberry Pi 4.
It's the perfect case for anyone wishing to make an indoor security camera, pet monitor, baby monitor, office cam or any other project where you'd like to use a camera module to record whoever (or whatever!) moves in front of your camera.
The case comes with the PIR module and wires, and is compatible with our matching black wall mounts for the ultimate indoors surveillance system!
Now updated to accommodate the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3! Assembly guide available here.
Please note:
- Only compatible with the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module.
- Raspberry Pi and camera module not included!
Mounted PIR and Camera Module
The case comes with the PIR module and wires included. The PIR module is neatly mounted to the front of the case and the three PIR wires connect directly to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins (5V, GND and GPIO 17).
The camera module (not included) is also mounted to the front of the case, and connected in the usual way (CSI connector), with the ribbon cable neatly tucked into the case. A clear lens ring protects your camera from any unexpected knocks or bumps.
Easy to Code
Coding the project is super-simple, and to help you get started The Pi Hut has 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.
You can expand on these however you like, adding other functions such as cloud storage upload, video effects, alerts and more!
Please remember PIR sensors can be temperamental (and can also be impacted by WiFi, heat and other interference) so will need some tweaking to reduce excessive false triggers.
