Or, install the ready-to-go image has prepared. For your Pi, you can go ahead with setting up some Python PushBullet libraries, installing FFmpeg, Pi Camera Notifier, and others. To get this working for you - assuming that your Pi has been recently updated - setup requires setting up a PushBullet account as well as installing it on your mobile and linking it with an API. This also permits a two-way communication with your Pi security system, so you can check in on the live feed whenever you feel the urge.


If there is still movement after a few seconds, the process repeats until the area is once again devoid of motion. If motion is detected, it immediately snaps and sends a picture to the user’s mobile via PushBullet, then begins recording video. The system works like this: a Raspberry Pi 3 and connected camera module remain vigilant, constantly scanning for motion and recording video. Ever have that strange feeling that somebody is breaking into your workshop? Well, Hackaday.io user has whipped up a tutorial on how to scratch that itch by turning a spare Raspberry Pi you may have kicking around into a security camera system that notifies you at a moment’s notice.
