That's a nice implementation.

So looks like the PoE Hat does the job of running both the RPi and the camera.

A couple of questions:

Do you use it in the day time, and can the auto-exposure get it to the point where it's not totally blown out during the day?

Given the box is totally sealed, is there enough airflow to keep the RPi cool enough? I'd worry about the box getting pretty hot outside (especially during the day), without any way to get any cooler air in there.

I'm contemplating using the cheaper ZWO ASI120MC-S USB3.0 Colour cam ($279 right now from Bintel), but it's lower res (1280x960). In real-life, do you think the lower res (vs for example a 1936×1096 ASI290MC at double the price) is any kind of impediment? I suspect not, but sometimes the on-paper vs real-life experience is somewhat different.
