Tanu Cheema asked 6 years ago

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.

    • https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Sara

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:

Guide to SD Card Module with Arduino


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.

Sara
