Announcing the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has just announced the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT compliant with 802.3at (aka PoE+) and 802.3af standards and support for up to 25.5 Watts input.
It will replace the Raspberry Pi PoE HAT introduced in 2018 which was limited to 802.3af standard with a maximum of 15.4 Watts input and will become available around mid-June for $20 plus taxes and shipping.
HAT = Hardware Attached on Top.
Here is a competing Waveshare PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 3B+/4B.

Switch to RPi0w with Camera mount. Then get PoE Texas external - roughtly the size a "W". Will need a USB-Ethernet. Break the cases and switch to direct wiring. 3D print housing. Use solenoid from a model plane and connect to the pin-out. Total parts retail about $40 plus camera. PoE and solenoid is largest cost.
Use Cat-7 Flat wire, so very soft to bend. Done.
PoE give you about 12-15W total available power. W uses less than 4B, USB-Ethernet will use a little from the W and solenoid will too. But overall the power envelope should be good.
Better get a PoE camera. IT only used 4 out the 8 wires. The "other" 4 could be "reused" to run a small stepper motor, directly wired. Then it is single run. Camera and basic swivel controls. or 2 direct drive dc motors one on each lead. then you can pan and tilt.
All that fun for a weekend!
