I still like it, but I had to buy a different ...
Jerry B.•August 22, 2016
The PIR arrived with capacitors bent at odd angles. I had to adjust them back, hoping not to damage them.
I have a Raspberry Pi3, with heatsinks mounted - and the case cannot close. The heatsinks actually get in the way of the wires provided.
I still like it, but I had to buy a different Pi (and mount it with out heat sinks). I am not a fan of that for a device that will be on 24/7...

Nice box, PIR died...

Nice box.
The jumpers that come with the PIR are a bit jammed in, but do work.
With a regular PiCam, it didn't do well in less than well lit environments. Not a big problem, was able to get a NoIR version with a couple IR leds on it and was able to mount it on the end of box (cut slot for cable) with a mount I found and printed off Thingverse.
Only problem I had was a flaky IR module. Initially it tripped with motion randomly, not long thereafter it tripped about once a minute with no motion and finally quit tripping at all. Tried several different Pi boards, same results (at that point no trip at all on motion).
Sent email to vendor, several days past now - no response. Found 5 of these PIR modules from another vendor and ordered those (5 for the price of one from other vendors!)

Very Good Design
Dan S.•January 26, 2016
This arrived and I was able to set it up in under two hours. It e-mails still pictures to my e-mail as it says. (I'm going to attempt to have it upload video to Dropbox next). It is setup well and with great design. It has two wallmount holes in the back so you can mount it on the wall with WiFi or Ethernet coming out the bottom, as it should be. I would never design a unit with holes (USB ports) facing up for everything to fall in. Software was good, design good. I'm going to buy another one.
So close, yet so far away! Ruined one of my cameras!

What a great idea executed so poorly. First, the entire build is upside down. You have to position the camera inside in a way that prevents you from standing it up, like the pictures shows. If you follow the directions and the way you are supposed to mount the camera internally, if you use a wifi dongle or cat 5 cable, there will be no way to stand it up like you see in the picture, thus the only option is to stand it up on the other end, thus producing and emailing pictures that are upside down. No biggie, I decided to just turn the camera 180 inside, even though it was clearly not designed this way, I was able to get it to line up with one of the two screw holes. Big mistake, once I closed the case it somehow ruined my brand new camera. In other words, the way they say to do it and have designed this thing is complete backwards, the camera should be designed to be mounted 180 degrees from where they have it, such a silly thing to NOT fix before production. If you do install the camera as they instructed, you will not be able to stand it up as in the picture bc you will have a wifi dongle coming out of the bottom, and if you turn it 180 you will get pictures that are upside down sent to your mail. Major design flaw, and it ruined my brand new RASPI camera. Second, the software was not developed as a certified application with GMAIL, meaning you will have to lower your setting in GMAIL to allow "less secure applications" to connect. Again, another really simple fix if care is taken to develope things right. I think if they go back to the drawing board and fix both issues its a great idea and case, next time, I will just get my own PIR and stick it on the side of another case. Positives, they software does work once you lower your settings in GMAIL and are ok opening yourself up to a whole lot of security risks. I would suggest looking at other alternatives until they fix these very glaring issues.
