Building a Raspberry Pi Security Camera #PiDay #RaspberryPi #Security @Raspberry_Pi @_1enin_

Moving Electrons shares how to put together a Raspberry Pi security camera, using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and some additional components.

Here are the components used on this project:

• Raspberry Pi Zero W.
• Raspberry Pi Camera.
• Adafruit Power Boost 1000C.
• 4400 mAh Li-Ion battery.
• Latching push button switch.
• 3/8 inch tripod adapter.
• ABS filament for 3d printed case.
• Acrylic sheet.
• 22-gauge wires for connections between components.

This whole project hinges upon a wonderful piece of software called MotionEye OS.

motionEyeOS is a Linux distribution that turns a single-board computer into a video surveillance system. The OS is based on BuildRoot and uses motion as a backend and MotionEye for the frontend.

Python scripts are used for customization.

See the post for all the details.
