Home security systems are a growing field of projects for Makers. A self-built system is not only less expensive than a bulky professional installation, but it also allows for total control and customization to suit your needs.
For this project, you will need a regular USB webcam, a PIR motion sensor and a Raspberry Pi 2 or a MinnowBoard Max. Refer to the “Components and Supplies” section below for the store links of the required materials.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
