Chapter 5. Adding a Webcam to Monitor Your Security System
In the previous chapters, we talked about topics such as sensors connected to the Arduino and monitoring from the Raspberry Pi Zero, using a network across devices, the importance of our home security projects, and domotics to monitor what's happening in the real world. For that, we have a proposal for this chapter.
In this chapter, we will configure our Raspberry Pi Zero to monitor a web camera and install a TTL serial camera to interact with Arduino boards; we will achieve that with the following topics:
- Interaction between Arduino and Raspberry Pi
- Controlling an output connected to Arduino from Raspberry Pi Zero
- Connecting a TTL serial camera to Arduino and saving pictures to a Micro SD
- Detecting motion with the serial TTL camera
- Controlling a snapshot from Raspberry Pi
- Controlling your camera from a web page
- Monitoring your USB camera for security in a network
