Adjustable/Rotating Mount for Raspberry Pi Camera V2 by theodroid
to make a Raspberry Pi3 case to mount on a 3030 extrusion with an integrated mount for the Raspberry Pi camera.
Using the motionEye image I downloaded here: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/releases/tag/nightly-dev , I had an IP camera set up and working in 15 minutes.
I modified the camera front cover with a square opening for the lens, as the original one ha a round opening and a tab at the top to support the camera circuit board properly in the case..
I added an extension to the top case mount with tabs to attach the camera arm.
I am poweringthe Pi with a 12 volt to 5 volt converter with a microUSB plug from the power supply on my Hypercube.

There are also converters that can power the Pi from POE, either with a hat on the Pi or a breakout box the converts the POE to 5 volts to the Pi.
