Raspberry Pi Zero cam

I setup a small RPI-zero camera, in order to know what's happening at my front-door and drive-way.

The setup runs on motionEyeOS and is only available in my LAN network. Any movement within the camera's view automatically triggers a video recording, saved on the local SD card. I also added an additional custom script to the setup, that uploads an image file to a private Discord server as backup. This also provides an update on our phones, whenever someone's at the door when we're not home.

A custom 3D printed enclosure was designed in FreeCad. I designed the setup with a flowerpot mount, as can be seen in the image above. Note that the screws are also 3D printed, which is especially recommended when clamping them onto a glass flowerpot.

The image quality is not superb, but it does get the job done as I often open the front-door before people have ringed the doorbel.
