How to Build a DIY Raspberry Pi Security Camera
Home security is no joke! Staying on top of perimeter security can be a rewarding project that guarantees a new line of safety for your household. In this guide, we'll be creating our very own Raspberry Pi security camera system. Our Raspberry Pi security camera will use a special OS designed just for managing camera feeds called motionEye OS.
What is motionEyeOS?
This free Linux based distro provides a platform to host and monitor security camera feeds. It's designed to work with a variety of small computers—including the Raspberry Pi. It comes with so many useful features such as motion detection, a web-based UI, and even email notifications.
