Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n

Surveillance cameras are everywhere these days, or so it seems. You\u2019ll find them everywhere – \u00a0protecting businesses and property, guarding residences or keeping an eye on children and their babysitters.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The availability of low-cost camera modules makes a surveillance camera an excellent project. \u00a0While you can certainly pick up a web-connected camera at your local electronics store there is something about building one yourself that is intriguing. You can customize it to suit your needs perfectly and perhaps conceal it in a spot where only you know about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we will build a surveillance camera that can be used by itself or in tandem with other cameras. This versatile project will have a number of advanced features like motion detection, the ability to save movies and pictures and a web-based interface that will allow you to vide the camera(s) on your desktop computer, tablet or mobile phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

If this sounds like a complex and expensive project then you\u2019ll be surprised to hear that it isn\u2019t. \u00a0In fact, this is a project that just about anyone can put together without any special skills required. \u00a0Thanks to an open-source product called <\/span>motionEyeOS<\/span><\/a>, along with a Raspberry Pi, you can put together a custom remote camera that can become the heart of a very sophisticated security system.<\/span><\/p>\n

And all of the \u201cheavy lifting\u201d has been done for you, so no programming is required!<\/span><\/p>\n

motionEyeOS<\/span><\/h2>\n

As I just mentioned motionEyeOS is an open-source product that can convert any Raspberry Pi (and many other single board computers) into a sophisticated network-attached camera. \u00a0<\/span>The code itself is available on GitHub<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Raspberry<\/p>\n

motionEyeOS is packaged as an image file that can be burned to a microSD card and then inserted into a Raspberry Pi. It runs entirely unattended, no keyboard, mouse or monitor is required.<\/span><\/p>\n

The software has the following features:<\/span><\/p>\n
