Camera models are now not just a lot, but a lot. And find a new niche in this area, the area of ​​the creation of photographic equipment, is almost impossible. But these days there is information about an interesting device, the camera with the ability to customize how the software and hardware that could be popular.

Here are a few interesting points. Firstly, the camera is based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module . Let me remind you, this miniature board manufacturers Raspberry Pi, with reduced functionality, but the same processor, RAM and internal memory.

To start the production camera OTTO developers of this device have launched a campaign to raise funds for the Kickstarter, in order to collect 60 thousand dolllarov. At the time of this writing, has already collected 25,070 dollars, and until the end of the campaign - 27 days.
