This document describes how to build an HD surveillance camera system using a Raspberry Pi. The system uses a Raspberry Pi, camera module, WiFi adapter, housing, power supply, SD card, and motion detection software. The Raspberry Pi runs Raspbian OS and uses the camera module, motion software, and WiFi to detect and record motion events to the SD card. The live video stream and recorded videos can be accessed from any browser using the Raspberry Pi's static IP address.

1. “HD Surveillance Camera
using Raspberry PI”

2. Introduction
HD Surveillance Camera using Raspberry PI is a
camera which records HD videos when some
motion is detected in the monitored area.
• See live stream in any web browse from anywhere.

3. Introduction
Live Picture or video can be viewed from
anywhere from any web browser even
from our mobile browsers.
• Record any motion into video file.

4. Components Used
Wi-Fi USB
Adaptor
Housing
for the
Camera
Raspberry
PI Camera
Module
SD Card
Power
Supply
Raspberri

5. Raspberry PI
O It is a low cost, credit-card sized computer
that plugs into a computer monitor or a
TV.

6. Raspberry PI
Raspberry PI
Model
B
Model
A

8. Raspberry PI Camera Module
O 5 MP Camera exclusively made for
Raspberry PI
O Can take 1080p High Definition Videos
O Small in size and can be connected
directly to the Raspberry PI Board.
O 1080p, 780p and also
Still pictures.

9. Housing For Camera
O Whole System will be placed inside the
Housing.
O Care has to be taken so that whole thing
has to be fit inside the housing

10. Power Supply
O Board will not come with any power
supply
O 5V USB Power Supply with micro-USB
plug.
O Must supply at least 1A of power.

11. SD Card
O Secure Digital Card is a non volatile
memory card
O Used in Mobiles, Cameras etc.
O SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity ) Card
can also be used.

12. SD Card
O Raspberry PI has no storage on board.
O SD Card is required to run the OS
O Class 10 is preferred as speed is very
important

13. Network Adapter
O Need to have some network connection.
O We don’t use LAN just to avoid wired
connection.
O Wi-Fi USB Adapter that supports speed of
150Mbps
O Edimax Wi-Fi USB Adapter

14. SoftWares Required
O 1. Raspbian OS
O 2. PuTTY
O 3. Motion Software

15. Operating System
O Raspberry PI requires LINUX Kernel
based OS
O “Raspbian” – Free OS for Raspberry PI
Hardware.
O Optimized for best performance on
Raspberry PI.

16. PuTTY
O Open-source terminal emulator.
O Serial console and network file transfer
application .
O Supports several network protocols,
including SCP , Telnet etc.
O Can be connected to a Serial Port.

17. Motion Software
O Program that monitors the video signal
from cameras.
O Used to detect motion.
O Open Software.

18. Functional Block Diagram

19. STEPS
O "Rasbian" Operating System is loaded
into the "Raspberry Pi" SoC and
Raspberry Pi 'Camera Module' is
interfaced to it
O Motion Software is installed in Raspberry
PI using Command Line.
O Wi-Fi adapter is interfaced with Raspberry
PI board.
O Internet Access is given to Raspberry PI
Board

20. Contd..
O Need a software to connect to LINUX
Console in Raspberry PI.
OWe install PuTTY in our windows
computer to fulfill the need.
O Further share a folder on the server to
store the recorded video.
O Using a “Static IP “ the live video can be
streamed on any browser across the
world.

21. Conclusion
O HD Surveillance Camera is set up in the
area which we want to monitor, video
containing detected motion is stored in a
server and live video can be accessed
from anywhere just by entering the static
IP assigned to the System in a web
browser.
