Making An Open-Source Security Camera (feat. a Raspberry Pi)

[@clebishere]

had someone ask for me to share the tutorial i used to make this, imma link it here. in the video i say that this tutorial is a bit misleading as it says to use motioneye OS which would not work for me. but, if it works for you, let me know! pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-security-camera/

new cleb video got me learning bout making open source security cameras

[@clebishere]

well i sure hope it did

[@fezickthebig]

If you are saying ZIF then you are correct. That connector does indeed require Zero Insertion Force (or nearly) to utilize. Nice video!

[@clebishere]

i am saying "zif." does it sound like im saying something else? thanks for watching, very appreciated!

KEEP IT UP CLEB MAX SUPPORT FROM OVER HERE!!!

[@clebishere]

super appreciate it my guy

[@LuizChristofoletti]

You mentioned to be following a guide or something, could you share it with us?

[@clebishere]

shoot, i totally meant to. i'll make it a pinned comment

[@jeremy986]

very intersting video trying it out with my pi 4!

[@clebishere]

give er a go, it's a fun little project. i wouldn't say this is a great tutorial video but hey, go for it lol

If you're just streaming then I suppose an SD card is fine, but if you save any videos on the local device you should probably use a beefier power supply and a real hard drive. At least 1TB, and if you're only recording when motion is detected then that's probably enough. It might be a good idea to list the price breakdown on all of the components in a pinned comment.

[@clebishere]

the 16gb sd card was definitely just something i had around to get the project off the ground. definitely plan on improving it. the price listing isn't a bad idea, if i can find all the listings i used i'll be sure to add it!

Why is it such a feat to use a RPi for surveillance cams when it was built to handle cameras and storage. Writing some low-level IP for intruder detection, that woul be a feat.

[@clebishere]

wouldn't necessarily say it's a feat, just what i was looking to do with it

[@RifterArchive]

Zif connector... ZIF connector 😡ZIG CONNECTOR!!! Yeah its a ZIF connector. I thought I taught you better Cleb. So ZIF stands for Zero Insertion Force

[@clebishere]

rip.. no more technology for me lol
