motionEyeOS

I chose to use motionEyeOS for my security camera OS because it’s:

purpose built for cameras on the Raspberry Pi
it has all the features that I was looking for in a home-built security camera, including motion detection
there’s also a lot of documenation online that can help with questions you might run into

Installation

I am using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a NoIR camera, so if you’re using something different, you might have a different experience.

Raspberry Pi Security Cameras: the plan

Home Security Cameras with Raspberry Pi Zero

This will be easy.

Raspberry Pi Security Camera

It all began innocently enough. I thought it would be cool to make a little security camera to put in the garage attic to look down on my driveway. I’d get a NoIR so it could work in low light levels. I’d get a Pi Zero so it’d be small. Yeah, that should be easy.

Hugo 1

Looks like it’s time to learn Markdown

I’ve been working on some projects that I think are share-worthy so I decided it was time to revamp my site. I wanted something that’s simple and fast to load.

Since I’m already a Cloudflare customer (and stock holder), I thought I’d give Pages a test run. I was able to setup a very quick Jekyll project, but ultimately decided to go with Hugo as the static site generator.
