Build A Raspberry Pi Security Camera #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Build a Raspberry Pi security camera network with motion detection and more. via PiMyLife
In this project I am going to make a Raspberry Pi security camera simply using the standard Pi camera such as the one I used in the time-lapse tutorial.
This is a cost effective way of getting a security camera up and running that you can view over the network and also have it so it is motion activated! So let’s get to it.
If you want to see how to setup the Raspberry Pi security camera visually then check out the video i have prepared below. As always if you like what you see and want to stay up to date with all the latest and greatest projects, guides and much more then please subscribe.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I just saw this via the Google+ post. How much would it cost to build 1000 of these and send them to black churches to help provide security against arson?
