## Overview
Each camera node is two ESP boards in a small stand-mounted case. The case **does not attach to the camera**; it straps to a tripod/lighting stand with reusable cloth zip ties / Velcro straps. Powered by a standard USB power bank.

The v4 case replaces the v3 clamp/dovetail concept with a simpler strap-mounted field enclosure:
The current v4 CAD replaces the rejected wide/low electronics-box layout with a tall appliance-style enclosure matching the original upright reference: a clean vertical body, large inset front panel, OLED near the top, open blank middle area, two long rounded lower slots, and a bottom-center cable exit. It also replaces the v3 clamp/dovetail concept with a simpler strap-mounted field enclosure:
1. **Case body** — shell sized around ESP32-C3 Super Mini + ESP-01S with service/wiring clearance.
2. **Flush/recessed front service lid** — screw-on front status panel with locating lip.
2. **Flush/recessed full-height front service lid** — screw-on front panel with locating lip and a restrained raised/recessed border.
3. **Front panel controls/indicators**:
- 1.3-inch OLED/status screen window.
- 3 mm **PWR** LED.
- single 3 mm **RGB STAT** LED for state-dependent colors.
- small rectangular rocker switch cutout.
- lower vent/style slots.
4. **Rear strap channels** — two raised horizontal cloth zip-tie / Velcro strap paths to reduce rotation on a tripod/stand.
- two long rounded lower front slots styled after the reference appliance face.
4. **Rear strap channels** — two low-profile external belt-loop cloth zip-tie / Velcro strap paths to reduce rotation on a tripod/stand without visually dominating the body.
5. **Bottom cable exit** — cable/strain-relief notch for USB/power wiring.
