# Raspberry Cameras

High quality cameras based on the Raspberry Pi Zero W or Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

All Raspberry Pi Camera Modules are support:

- [https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/camera.html](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/camera.html)

Currently the Camera Module 3 is the default configuration:

There are many non-official cameras that are compatible with Raspberry Pi Camera Modules some might work well enough for your specific application.

## Case

### Indoor Kit

The indoor reference camera kit has 13 parts.

1. clear 3mm thick acrylic len shield x 1  
teh len shield will form a base to mount both camera module and raspberry pi zero 2w  
if cutting up an A4 size acrylic sheet, then 15 shields (each of size 80mm x 40mm) can be made.

Mount 2 corners of the camera module to base

1. 20mm long M2 metal screws x 2  
to mount camera module to acrylic sheet

2. 10mm long M2 plastic spacer x 2  
to mount camera module to acrylic sheet

3. 5mm long M2 plastic spacer x 2  
to mount camera module to acrylic sheet

Mount 2 corners of the raspberry pi zero 2W to base

1. 30mm long M2 metal screws x 2  
to mount raspberry pi zero 2W to acrylic sheet

2. 20mm long M2 plastic spacer x 2  
to mount raspberry pi zero 2W to acrylic sheet

3. 5mm long M2 plastic spacer x 2  
to mount raspberry pi zero 2W to acrylic sheet

### Outdoor Case

### Own Case

If you are doing your own case with a protector in front, you have to becareful the len protector CANNOT touch the lens, so it should be about 10mm in front of the circuit board.

- the standard len height is 6.98mm from circuit board
- the wide len height is 8.30m from circuit board
