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

Рет қаралды 1,056,753

6 жыл бұрын

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...

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.

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.

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.

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?

Thanks a ton, guys! This is one project I've been working on recently. Next steps could be to detect the face on the camera and match with the voice and commands of the visitor to unlock the door if authorized. If you guys plan on doing something like this, it will be of great help.

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:)
