Steampunk culture implies a civilization that has mastered mechanics perfectly. In modern realities, gadgets are often simply stylized as steampunk. We decided to make our device with a beautiful mechanism of the original design. And this is a steampunk webcam.
We are a team of engineers who love mechanics. The prototype of the webcam, which will be discussed in the article, was developed by Andrei Korobov petrotator .
Many people stick a webcam with tape, on our camera the lens is automatically closed with a special shutter. A little about how it works.

When activated, the webcam automatically opens, and when deactivated, the shutter in front of the camera lens automatically closes. The bolt consists of 5 petals attached to the shafts with levers.
On the axis of the motor-reducer there is a disk, to which 5 rods are attached, going to the levers. The geared motor is controlled by a circuit on the relays and reed switches connected to the webcam.
On the front panel LED indicator, not beating a bright light into the eyes.
Brass parts are polished to a shine, and steel parts are blued.
At the moment, the prototype is in the stage of assembly and rework files.
