*Just add your own card OctoCam uses the neat little Pi Zero camera, the most compact way to add a camera to your Pi. It uses the same 5MP sensor as the original Pi camera, so it works out of the box with your Pi, in the same way as the official Pi cameras. The cable and circuitry are all meaning that connecting it is as simple as plugging in the ribbon cable to the connector on your Pi Zero W. This kit takes advantage of the wireless LAN and Bluetooth on the Pi Zero W, meaning that there's no longer any need for a USB dongle. OctoCam is perfect for setting up a compact CCTV camera in your house, or for recording time lapses. Stick it to your kitchen window and keep an eye on your bird feeder or nesting box. Keep tabs on your cat or dog while you're out of the house, or use it to track the growth of your houseplants!
