![]() ![]() Remove the plastic lens from the centre of the camera disc. The back will have a dummy cable stub going through a 'grommet which is a good fit for cat-5 cable. The front is a dummy circular 'camera' module. ![]() The housing comes apart easily with screws revealing a slide in plastic tray with battery housing. The MAC address can be spoofed however to get round this and this is dealt with in the software section. ![]() This is not a problem with one camera on the network, but would prevent puting more than one on. One 'feature of these LAN modules is that they do not have a unique MAC address. This the will only stick out a small way from the Pi Zero USB connector. I then solder the USB cables onto a micro USB plug and glue into a half cut down plastic shell. I cut the cable about half way and remove the outer cable shroud to make it more flexible. The micro USB cable plus plug will be too big to fit. One can improve the fit by lightly tinning the wires with solder. As these wires are fairly thin they may be a slightly loose fit onto jumper connectors. Bend and spread the remaining 4 at right angles fairly flush with the board. One can verify which ones by looking at the traces on the board as only 4 are connected. Only 4 of these are required (1,2,3,6) for the 100Mb operation. Remove the plastic housing of the RJ-45 socket revealing the 8 wires. There is a small circuit board with a RJ-45 socket soldered at one end and the USN cable soldered at the other. For this project we split the plastic housing apart and discard. The LAN module is supplied with a short micro USB cable and a RJ-45 LAN connector in a plastic housing. ![]()
