How to Make a Smart Security Camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero

6 років тому

In this video, we use a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a Raspberry Pi camera to make a smart security camera! The camera uses object detection (with OpenCV) to send you an email whenever it sees an intruder. It also runs a webcam so you can view live video from the camera when you are away.
See how we built it, including our materials, code, and supplemental instructions, on Hackster.io: www.hackster.io/hackershack/s...

Always test your electronic components to make sure they function properly before mounting them in a "permanent" way. Great video.

@christopherbillington8965 4 роки тому

rather than dealing with MDF, I think I would mount it in an electrical box. The steel ones are modular, cheap and durable. Plus, you can mound an unwired outlet in it, which isn't the sort of thing most people would think twice about seeing.

@narpat007 4 роки тому

Excellent ! In the event of image detected, have you given thought to consider switching a light bulb via I/O pins in conjunction with a optoisolator or something like that ?

Great tutorial and appreciate the time and effort it takes to record, edit and upload. It's already been done, but please consider an updated version using Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Wyze data mines it's customers, can't be used with iPhone 4S and has no customer service number, so your hack is a great alternative. Cheers

Im coming from the wood building/car diy side of the youtubes but am I missing something? How or where does it get power from? And how is it connected to the home network? Does the raspi have a battery? Or WiFi? Can you get different camera sensors for different resolutions? Or some night vision sensors?

@joybuendia6742 6 років тому

It works, it's better if you read the instructions of the GitHub page, cause have many differences for python 3 or 2 , in my case I needed to changed the route because was different, in my case was: Smart-Security-Camera-Master/. Also I needed to download the VIM, just sudo apt-get install vim, and that's it

Hello, You should edit your routers routing table. An example below Public IP x.y.z.t internal IP a.b.c.d You should route your public ip's some port to internal ip's some port x.y.z.t:9999 -> a.b.c.d:8888 then on a public WiFi, if you write your xyzt:9999 to the browser's address bar, you will see your camera. But it is not secure. Anyone that knows your routing table(camera port?) and public IP(may be static or dynamic ip) can see your house:)

@hellrazor35 6 років тому

Personally I'd just get a plastic project box and drill a hole for the wires / camera. It would be flat and alot more water proof than MDF. This could be done alot easier.

@Skyefuego 6 років тому

@KapnKerfuffle 6 років тому

Or by a hollow plastic skull or gargoyle or statue of a poster of Big Brother with a plastic electrical gang box behind the eyes.

@axsdeny6692 6 років тому

Wouldn't there be the potential for excess humidity to condense on the inside of the pipe thereby endangering the electronics? The MDF is more porous and wouldn't do this as much. Of course, if left outside, the MDF will fall apart eventually because it's garbage.
