Raspberry Pi Smart Surveillance Monitoring System

Build a Raspberry Pi based smart wireless surveillance monitoring system using MotionEye.

Overview:

With this project, you can design and implement a Raspberry Pi 3 based low-cost smart surveillance monitoring system. With RPi3 on board WiFi, PiCamera and MotionEye OS you will be able to capture High Definition video and live stream video can be accessed/viewed using a web browser from anywhere by just entering the static RPi IP address. The system can automatically initiate video recording, image capturing or send notifications if any kind of motion is detected. The camera can capture wide area and motion sensitivity, brightness, contrast, angle all can be controlled by the user. If you want extra security, you can set authentication which makes the system more secure and can't be hacked.

Initial Hardware Setup (RPi and SenseHAT)

1. Download the latest version of MotionEyeOS for RPi3 from here.

2. Insert the uSD card into your computer SD card reader and write the downloaded imaged into uSD card using image writing software like “Win32DiskImager”, wait for the write to complete. Exit the imager and eject the SD card.

3. Insert the uSD card into Raspberry Pi and boot the system. For initial setup we have to use Ethernet connection and once connected to the network we can setup WiFi connection.

4. Please refer to the guide how to find RPi IP address without using monitor (using the Pi headless):

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ip-address.md

5. Now from your computer browse to the identified RPi IP address with your browser. Bingo!! you should see a live video feed from you RPi and camera over you network.

6. Now to setup your WiFi connection, motion sensing, video resolution etc click on the Key icon in the top-left corner. Login with admin as a username and leaving password field blank. From this panel you can set and control all the system functionality remotely. Once you have setup WiFi connection you can remove Ethernet cable and system will connect using WiFi on next boot automatically.
