![]() Now that the basic setup is done, you should connect to your Raspberry device from your computer. ![]() And you should also enable the camera from the Raspbian setup menu so that we can use it for motion detection. Be sure to enable SSH in Raspbian so that you are able to control the Raspberry device also when there is no monitor and keyboard attached. After this, you should have a basic Raspbian OS running. The Raspberry should boot up and guide you through the setup process as explained in this Adafruit tutorial. Insert the prepared SD card with the Raspbian installer on it and attach the power supply. Now temporarily connect your Raspberry Pi board to LAN cable, a monitor (HDMI TV works out of the box, but a HDMI-to-DVI cable like this will do the job as well) and a USB keyboard for the basic setup. You need to prepare the SD card to be able to run Raspbian on the Raspberry: this excellent tutorial from Adafruit will explain the necessary steps. ![]() We have chosen Raspbian, as it's one of the most advanced OS for the Raspberry with loads of help and tutorials on the internet. An OS is the basic operating system software that tells the Raspberry hardware what to do. That's all: for about US$120 we have all the hardware we need to build this HD surveillance cam.Īt first, you should install the OS and software to the Raspberry Pi before mounting it all together. A better alternative is such a WiFi USB adapter for only about US$10 One possibility is to use a LAN connection, but you would need to put LAN cable to the point where you want to mount the camera. To connect this cam to your network, you also need some kind of network connection.Any SD or microSDHC should do the job, but we recommend using a Class 10 SD card. SD card: as the Raspberry Pi does not have any storage on board, you need to add some so that you can install and run the operating system for this device.We have ordered such a power supply which already has a micro-USB plug for about US$10 Any power supply with a micro-USB plug can do the job as long as it supplies at least 1A of power. Power supply: The Raspberry computer does not come with any power supply, you have to get one on our own.The dimensions of the Raspberry board are 85.6 x 53.98 x 17 mm (approx 3.37 x 2.13 x 0.67 in). You can use any camera housing, but only be careful about the size of the housing so that the Rasperry board will fit in there. We have ordered this camera housing for about 20€ in Germany that had enough space for all the components. Search the web for "surveillance camera dummy" and you will find loads of housings for your new camera for only a few dollars. There are loads of very cheap fake security cameras available which perfectly fit our needs here. A housing for the camera: you don't need to buy a high-price-housing for your Raspberry.We've not yet had the chance to test it, but it should work for this surveillance camera as well. ![]() There will be an infrared camera module for the Raspberry Pi soon ( ). ships this camera in the US for only US$29. The website will show you where you could order it from your country. It has a connector to be plugged directly into the Raspberry board and supports HD video up to 1080p. Raspberry Pi Camera Module: This module was specially build for the Raspberry micro-computer.Stefan Knight has written an excellent article on how to run this whole project on a model A. You could also use the Raspberry Pi Model A which is slightly cheaper and consumes less energy. Raspberry Pi Model B: This is the larger model of the Raspberry computer system with 700MHz and 512MB Ram. ![]() This is a list of the major things we need: ![]()
