I want to assemble my own cameras. A bit of an IT type project for me. Need to learn more about the image sensors, SOC's, lens boards, POE circuits, firmware, etc.
Where do the DIYers hangout on the net?

#1, DIY in video surveillance is typically buying low-cost product and installing it yourself. For example, IPCamTalk is big among DIYers but I don't think many of them assemble their own cameras.
One post that might be interesting to you is How a Security Camera is Made, video below:
Also, World's Biggest Video Surveillance Market (Shenzhen's Pacific Security and Protection Market).
The other thing I've seen is people building IP cameras using a Raspberry Pi.
Hope that helps and some others can give you feedback.
