A Camera-based Surveillance System using Raspberry Pi is a system that uses a Raspberry Pi single-board computer and a camera to capture and record video footage. The Raspberry Pi can be configured to run software that can process the video footage, detect motion and trigger an alarm or send a notification when motion is detected.
Overview of Camera Based Surveillance System Using Raspberry Pi:
Here is an overview of the steps to set up a Camera-based Surveillance System using Raspberry Pi:
- Hardware setup: Connect the camera module to the Raspberry Pi’s camera port, and ensure that the camera is enabled in the Raspberry Pi’s settings.
- Software installation: Install the necessary software on the Raspberry Pi, including the motion software package, which will handle the motion detection, and any necessary libraries.
- Configuration: Configure the motion software by editing the configuration file to set the desired motion detection sensitivity and to specify the path where the video footage will be stored.
- Testing: Test the system by running the motion software and checking the video footage to ensure that motion is being detected and recorded correctly.
- Integration: Integrate the system with other devices or services, such as email or push notifications to alert you when motion is detected or send you the video footage.
- Deployment: Deploy the system in the desired location and ensure that it has access to power and network connectivity.
It’s important to note that the Raspberry Pi can be integrated with other peripherals such as PIR sensor, ultrasonic sensor or laser sensor to detect motion more accurately, also the system can be configured to send notifications or alerts to a specified email or mobile number
Camera Based Surveillance System Using Raspberry Pi is mainly beneficial for determining crime, It monitors scenarios and activities, helpful for gathering evidences and detecting thefts instantly. The system is built to monitor home, offices and detect theft as soon as it takes place. System uses Raspberry Pi with a camera based circuit.
System constantly monitors camera for motion. The camera input is constantly fed to the pi processor. The camera input is constantly processed by Raspberry Pi processor for any motion. If any motion is detected, the system goes into alert mode. System now sounds alarm as well as captures images of the motion happening. These images are saved for later viewing reference. Thus the system is an efficient camera based security system. It can be further enhanced by adding a gsm modem to send an alert sms or alert over IOT for remote alarm.
