1 Case

I designed a case with a large lens hood and a recessed lens so that it can block the light from the room. This would allow the camera to take photos at night.

I decided to strive for maximum image quality even at night, by capturing a stack of images and summing them up.

3 Lens

I found a Basler C125-0618-5M-P on eBay which seems to have good image quality and fits the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera.
