Pi Setup
Used this page: Kali_Raspberry_Pi/Installing
Installed an arm image of Kali Linux onto the Raspberry Pi.
Pi Camera Setup
I connected the raspberry pi camera I had, which connects via a flat cable, to the pi camera ports on the top of the pi. The camera connection sits very loosely on the Pi 2, but on a new Pi 3, the connection is very firm. The camera is protected by a small plastic box, custom sized to fit the raspberry pi camera.
