Add a sensitive motion detector, and also to send a picture

[ram30]

Hi All,

I would like to develop a system that detracts a motion ,Photo it and transmit it .

Did someone done it before or give me any advice if one of the Beagle can support it easily.

Thank you

First question: what type of motion sensor are you planning to use...
After all, the required sensor code will be much different for a PIR vs a
vibration sensor vs a MEMS accelerometer.

What type of camera?

"transmit it" HOW? Wired ethernet to an email server, WiFi to a NAS
drive in some closet?

Presuming a PIR sensor, I'd suggest looking at

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-12-sensing-movement
(it shouldn't be too difficult to translate RPI I/O access to BBB I/O)

https://learn.adafruit.com/wireless-security-camera-arduino-yun
(again, you'd have to map the I/O functions to the BBB equivalent)

Yes, this can be done. In fact I'm working on a system right now that does something similar to this. I can not get into much detail of this project, as there is an NDA involved.

What I could say however, is that you may want to look into using a PIR sensor, which can be had fairly inexpensively to toggle a GPIO, with a "file watcher" script, or executable that will call another script or executable( could be an all in one executable ) that may trigger an event. Which could be used to take a picture of whatever is in front of the camera.
