For the less technically minded, perhaps a ip board camera in the fake case

Mahdi Hasham says:

7:29 he dropped that box for the fake camera

David Morgan says:

he used the token black buy

Rede Alexander says:

So Linus rants about how much of a ripoff nest cams are and shows how to make a raspberry pi security camera without a monthly fee but then advertises a paid VPN service that you could make one just as good with a raspberry pi without a monthly fee.

Rede Alexander says:

The whole point of more expensive security cameras in the first place is to be plug and play, and although the raspberry pi DIY security cameras are way less expensive they require way more time setting them up and don't have the familiar face detection that the nest subscription comes with, or the easy to use app that allows you to go through days of footage and easily find what you are looking for.

R. J. Denicola says:

This is so freaking cool, think you could use the rasberry pi controller and instead of the raseberry cameras old laptop or webcams?

the wombat says says:

"automagically"- nice!

Blake Byrnes says:

2 questions.

1. Why is your shirt ripped?

2. Why is your robber guy black?

dhiyanshu j ram says:

is it just me…. or the part in 1:30 ….doesn't it seem like they were jus doin some weed on the table where Linus is sitting

Super bee says:

I have a bunch of the fake cctv cameras and was trying to figure out away to make them into real cameras. This will totally work!

Wrecks says:

Spending my entire weekend building a makeshift security camera is a ripoff.

Paul Meranda says:

lol! "aut'do ma-gi-cally," oh man, it gets me everytime!

Liviu Bita says:

6.17- Linus demonstrating new ability: Bluetooth camera dropping, a.k.a. telekinesis!

Dudeomfgstfux says:

I never saw the NEST video because I assumed it was you hating/ reviewing NEST, I didn't know it was a guide to a security system.

John Wight says:

I call BS on lowering insurance rates. I told my insurance had security cameras and I asked if I could get a discount they actually raise my rates because my security system was worth $5,000. They raise my rates by $10 a month.

OBAAAMAAA says:

I ate hungry jacks

Ya boi Bubba says:

"Buy your own or order one printed from a service"

or just…
print it ourselves…

Daniel Dennison says:

Check out Wyze Labs products.
Cheap, but will greatly exceed your expectations for the price point.
I LOVE Wyze stuff!!!! 😄

But great job on your DIY project with Raspberry Pi

• Celery.05 says:
