hi i am a middle schooler wanting to create a project with the following requirements:
separate locations with alarm/video trigger by a motion sensor
these locations send messages to the main hub when alarm is triggered and all data of triggered alarms is stored for future use.
i have been trying to work with arduino but have a lot of unanswered questions
can you please suggest which software and hardware platform would work best for this scenario and if u can tell me which book from your site to purchase which can help and guide me.
your help is greatly appreciated
thank you

Hi Tanu.
I think that using Raspberry Pi boards with MotionEyeOS can be a good option.
We don’t have any course about that.
But we have these projects:
- https://randomnerdtutorials.com/cctv-raspberry-pi-based-system-storage-motioneyeos/
- https://randomnerdtutorials.com/install-motioneyeos-on-raspberry-pi-surveillance-camera-system/
You can also take a look at motioneyeos wiki, because they have good resources.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Sara

thank you so much for your guidance.
just another quick question….if i did not need video but only data logging of the alarm tripped by a motion sensor-then what would be my best option,,,and do u have a course that could help me.
thanks a ton

Hi Tanu.
I’m sorry for the delay in my response, but your question was not showing up in our notifications.
If you want to make a data logger with the Arduino, you can use a microSD card for example:

Alternatively, you can also use an ESP32 and publish your data to googlesheets, for example:
ESP32 Publish Sensor Readings to Google Sheets (ESP8266 Compatible)
We also have this project that records when a PIR motion sensor is activated:

I hope this helps.
