Ill be using the Pi NOIR CameraPi NOIR Camera which is a Pi Cam without the IR filter. In light conditions all the color is washed out, but it is able to see in the dark even without an IR source.
Ill also be using the Motion Tool to do the heavy work for me for recording, emailing, and detecting motion
Requirements:
- Video only records when motion is detected.
- Motion detection via video feed, not a PIR sensor.
- Ability to see in low light conditions (not completely dark).
- Ability to limit the video length per video (1 minute at a time).
- Videos are emailed out immediately after being taken.
- A "safe button" which is a button I can press to turn off motion detection, the motion will auto arm after 1 hour.
- A process to mange video files, erasing them after 2 days.
- *Nice to have: Video view from a web browser.
- Portable, and easy to hide. Will be disguised as a common object that would be in a room.

Black Coffee cup
I have a larger black coffee cup that should be able to enclose the entire setup. Its porcelain so I can drill a hold for the camera to peer out of. A coffee cup has a stable base and some weight to it. It also will not look out of place in my house since I routinely leave cups laying around anyways. I will also need a hole for the power supply wire to enter.
I will reply with my progress to this thread. more to come with pictures!
