I created version 1 (see /ver_1/) I decided against the night vision camera as the footage was always bad even with light. The particular camera I chose was strictly an IR camera. I don't mind having a light on for the camera.
I forgot to attach the new photos, I decided to put it in this Raspberry Pi case I stole it from another full sized pi. I used a solder-able breadboard that I cut apart to fit in here with the camera, and a voltage divider 10K and 5K using 3.3V reference.
- Night vision camera
- Upload to cloud
- Motion triggered
Well I'm going to be living alone soon and I don't like the idea of my home being unattended without any sort of assurance that if someone where to waltz in and take my stuff, I'd have proof/know who it was. Potentially it will act as a deterrent as well like "Hey buddy, see this camera, you've already been uploaded to the cloud" sort of deal.
Anyway, more over it's a fun project, more hardware interfacing and another excuse to connect something to the web. I'll also use Amazon's S3 service for the first time to store these photos.
-
Get photo from Raspberry Pi Camera
-
Setup some sort of polling event (my thought at this time) to wait for input from PIR
-
Upload the photo to S3 with notification
-
Setup some sort of "everything is okay clean/flush files"
