In the previous chapter, we explored home bots. We covered how a home bot can be autonomous and send notifications back to you. In this chapter, we will go through the development of a security camera. We will demonstrate an advanced way to connect your camera to your Raspberry Pi board using MotionPie. Later, we will discuss a library named OpenCV in case you want to scale up this project. To sum up, here are the topics that we will be covering in this chapter:
- Installing a camera
- Installing MotionPie
- Configuring MotionPie settings
- Installing OpenCV
- Face recognition
