# PIR Camera Case for Raspberry Pi 4

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE07336 · **Brand:** [The Pi Hut](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/the-pi-hut)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/pir-camera-case-for-raspberry-pi-4-3.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/pir-camera-case-for-raspberry-pi-4-3.html.md))

The PIR Camera Case makes it easy to create a motion-sensing camera project with your Raspberry Pi 4 or 3!

## Pricing

- **Price:** $33.05 (inc GST) — $30.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $28.85 (exc GST) · 25+ $27.95 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 4 today, and up to 500 more in 5–8 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE07336:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE07336:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

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](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-3.html) 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/the-pi-hut-wall-mounting-bracket.html) for the ultimate indoors surveillance system!

**Now updated to accommodate the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3!** [Assembly guide available here](https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/pir-camera-case-assembly-instructions).

**Please note:**

- Only compatible with the official [Raspberry Pi Camera Module.](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-3.html)
- [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-4gb.html) and [camera module](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-3.html) 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](https://github.com/ThePiHut/pir-camera-case) 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](https://github.com/ThePiHut/pir-camera-case#prepare-your-raspberry-pi) to reduce excessive false triggers.
