I'm building a camera with zoom / pan / tilt that uses the Raspberry Pi high quality camera and a small telephoto lens I got off of Amazon.

The enclosure for the camera is all 3D printed and made in fusion 360, and I even 3D printed a little box that a cheap joystick fits into that connects to a computer in order to control the position and zoom of the camera over serial.

I live pretty close to an area in San Francisco where you can see massive container ships coming in and out of the bay area, eventually I think it would be cool to have the camera setup somewhere around there so that I could get alerts when ships are entering or leaving the area and watch in real time over a 4G connection to the camera.
