How to Make a Smart Security Camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero

How to Make a Smart Security Camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero

In this video, we use a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a Raspberry Pi camera to make a smart security camera! The camera uses object detection (with OpenCV) to send you an email whenever it sees an intruder. It also runs a webcam so you can view live video from the camera when you are away.

See how we built it, including our materials, code, and supplemental instructions, on Hackster.io: https://www.hackster.io/hackershack/smart-security-camera-90d7bd

We use a proper POE system for reliability along with the ring doorbells. But I did this for a fun project and I have to admit I am surprised at how well it works, I didn't make a wooden enclosure instead I bought a dummy cctv camera from amazon and built the Raspberry Pi inside of the fake camera.
