What is it?

APlusCam is designed in the shape of a Raspberry Pi HAT with mounting holes for a Raspberry Pi Camera and suction cups allowing the camera can look out through a window. This updated version supports all official v1/2/3 cameras models.

The original version of this was a PCB, but I've now updated it to 2/3mm black acrylic.

Why did you make it?

I was previously using MotionEyeOs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W but wanted to move the WiFi traffic from the congested 2.4Ghz band to 5Ghz supported on the Pi 3A+.

What makes it special?

I've previously only found window mounts for the Pi Zero [W], this allows the use of a 3A+ with more processing power and 5Ghz WiFi whilst still keeping it fairly compact.

What do I get/need?

Included in the package is.

The "HAT" shaped PCB.
Two suction cups to attach it to the window.

The optional "Screw Pack" includes (screw/spacer colour may vary).

4x12mm M2.5 spacers and 8xM2.5 screws.
4x12mm M2 screws and 4xM2 nuts.

Pi (3A+/etc), camera, camera cable, PSU are not included.

Fantastic enclosure for A3+ Pi Project with the Camera

I wanted to use the APlusCam for projects involving the Raspberry Camera. As it combines both the camera enclosure and the small form factor of the RaspberryPi A3+, it is really perfect.
The provided elements are of great quality and the assembly is perfect.
So why 4 stars and not 5 ? It is just the size of the spacer provided that are a little bit too small, forbidding plugging it directly HATs.
If you are a maker, you can still use a GPIO PIN header and bend "flat" the pins to just fit in the enclosure, but it will depends of your own project.
Other than that, fantastic add-on to own ! Thanks Chris !

Fantastic little case

A brilliant little case for the A+/3A+ for window mounting. Nicely simple but well made. Love it! Looking forward to taking shots of animals in the garden with it :)
