Outline

This project uses the case and various components from a ALL-IN-ONE_AW_01 Yale camera.

One serious difficulty when building your own camera is finding a suitable housing, especially one that can be mounted externally. Especially if the housing has to contain any extras (microphone/speaker/siren/PIR/second camera), the Yale camera unit has provision for these.

Sourcing a housing is difficult but you may be able to obtain one on eBay.

What components from the Yale unit can be reused?

• housing and mounting bracket
• PSU
• camera
• IR LEDs
• siren
• speaker/microphone
• spotlight
• PIR (motion detection)

The PCB for this project is designed to fit in place of the original PCB, and reused it’s mounting points.

The main camera is a RPi 5 module with a carrier camera.

This project replaces the PIR with a second camera, that is configured for object (specifically cat) recognition.This uses the SeedStudio AI xxxx board, along with an original RPi camera. This board can trigger a cat deterrent such as a smell.
