MONITOR™ - How to make Monitor System with inexpensive D.I.Y. Camera & Sensors.

With under 1$ Human Detection Sensor,   HC-SR501 With  2$ USB Webcam , and Raspberry Pi connected to the Internet, You can make Web Base Security Camera System as follows: PIR Sensor There are many types of Human Detection Sensor, some of these watching infrared light rays and cache shutting out of this, or some these using Millimeter-wave radar. PIR(Passive Infrared Ray) Sensor is one of these Human Detection Sensor which watches the change of thermal infrared emitted from hot objects like Humans , Birds , and Mammals . The sensor consists of a  lens for thermal infrared (white plastic tip in the picture below) and a  detector device . Both parts are inexpensive parts and a detector is low current consumption parts. So, the advantage to use the PIR sensor for Human Detection is: - Inexpensive - Low current consumption How to setup Step 1. Get account of MONITOR™ and your view_id On your ...

With  2$ USB Webcam , and Beagle Bone Green connected to the Internet, You can make Web Base Security Camera System as follows: According to the  BeagleBone Green System Reference Manual  section  5.7 USB1 Host Port , the BBG's USB port can provide up to 500mA of current at 5V. It's enough power of the current to share USB WebCam and USB WiFi dongle by USB Hub .  For your reference, the following are parts list which I'm using.
