Outdoor Home Security Camera (3)

This is part 3 of step-by-step instructions for how to build a home security camera (surveillance camera) built using a Raspberry Pi.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 4

Step 3.1. Preferences

Changed Layout Columns and Rows to 2 to accommodate the planned 4 cameras

Step 3.2. Still Images

Preserve pictures For One Month

Enable Manual Snapshots

Click Apply

Step 3.2. File Storage

Each of the 4 cameras has a 64GB MicroSD. A free google drive only has 15GB. Most of my google drive is used for this site. So, I don't want to use Google Drive for this. But it is relatively easy to set up.

Any video I want to preserve can be uploaded to Google Drive or downloaded to a laptop with iCloud.

So, nothing special here.

Step 3.3. Motion Notifications

Motion notifications are set up in Part 4.

Step 3.4. Working Schedule

Turn working schedule off
