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.

Home Security Cameras with Raspberry Pi Zero

This will be easy.

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.
