There have been no less than 6 iterations of the product to refine the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sentinus enclosure is rainproof and can be opened and closed without any tools due to the innovative design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious cameras and lenses can be added by means of a height-adjustable internal mounting which can be easily un-clipped to remove the camera.The cavity below the camera is designed to house a Rasberry Pi, Mini-PC or similar device by means of a flat mounting plate which slides easily into place. Or you can just add cables to the camera directly, out of the housing base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sentinus enclosure can be mounted on the included wall bracket with one hand for additional safety - for example if you are standing on a ladder. There is a recess for a cable tie for added security. Four screws are required to fasten the wall bracket to any surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base has 3 holes for cables. Two holes are 24mm diameter and include plugs, These are compatible with widely available screw-in USB adaptors and cable glands. The 3rd hole in the base contains a 12v DC input socket. Two bare wires are included with the socket and a 12v 2.1x5.5mm plug is included for you to wire up to your chosen power source such as a 12v \/ 5v splitter for Rasberry Pi. (You can use cable terminal connectors so no soldering is required). Furthermore, the base allows the Altair Allsky Camera Enclosure to be mounted on a camera tripod with non-corroding 1\/4\"UNC standard camera tripod thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is made of high quality UV-stable heat-resistant PETG plastic, and is robustly made. Samples of this material have been exposed to 6 summers and winters without any deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included transparent dome is made from a special UV resistant acrylic, unlike other cheaper domes. The thickness is more consistent for better optical clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional items and accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn optional street light shroud is available, which eliminates all but the worst cases of internal reflection caused by bright nearby lights.

We would first require dimensions of the camera body to check fitment, and the diameter of the front flange behind the lens C-Mount.
