Travel packages from the "first person"

A guy named Ruben mounted inside the box a small video camera and sent it by mail.

What happens when you send anything by mail? What happens in between those you are sending a parcel and that when it comes to the recipient? What people and processes involved in this and how many steps does it take? Here are some questions the answers to which I would like to know.

And instead of just sitting around, I realized my little project to see it all with my own eyes. I put a small camera in a box, put together a simple timer using Arduino and sent mail this construction.

Everything is just as it is. The timer was set up to record the 3-second video every minute, as well as to record longer video segments when the box is in motion - not to miss the most "interesting" part of the process.

Outside the box:





Inside the box, placed the controller, the camera and the battery.



Luggage box inside. The hole for the camera only 2mm in diameter and located in the center of the visual letter "B".



Inside the box.



And the timer for Arduino.
