BTV Camera Badge (DEF CON 34 Fundraiser)
Pre-event BTV fundraiser for a DC32-origin ESP32 camera badge
Blue Team Village at DEF CON's Eventbrite offer schedules the BTV Camera Badge as a DEF CON 34 fundraiser for August 7-9, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, with in-person village pickup only. It offers an assembled badge and lanyard for $120 or an intermediate-to-advanced soldering kit for $60. The listing says the badge does not take photos; instead, in an appropriate mode, its camera-lens display shows when deauthentication packets are being sent or Flipper Zeros are nearby, and says its brain is an ESP32 board capable of custom software. BTV's public MIT `btv_dc32_badge` archive explicitly describes the artifact as a DEF CON 32 indie badge and preserves its Arduino source, KiCad project, Gerbers, CAD/fabrication files, parts list, and assembly guide. This is a current source-backed fundraiser for a documented DC32-origin design, not evidence of a newly engineered DEF CON 34 hardware revision, completed pickup, final 2026 firmware, radio-detection performance, electrical safety, conference admission, or reusable-image rights.
