Problem All businesses desire safety for property, assets, and employees, but most cannot afford or rely on a hired security team. A low-cost, reliable, simple remote security solution would provide peace of mind around the protection of enterprise resources.

Solution Remove the hassle from remote monitoring with the best practices discussed in this Blueprint, designed to accelerate the development of new security solutions and products. We will create a Twilio-powered device that keeps watch over remote locations and alerts administrators of intrusions or safety concerns. Constantly monitoring, the device notifies stakeholders of events that threaten assets or safety.

Degree of Difficulty (1-5): 3 This device requires some knowledge of Raspberry Pi, software installation, and some Linux features including the command line.

What You’ll Need

Before we get started, here's a quick overview of what you'll need to build the Security Camera

Materias lists Electronic Components

• Twilio Programmable Wireless Starter Pack
• Wireless Security Camera shopping list

The Wireless Starter Kit in the shopping list comes with an 8GB micro SD card. You will need a microSD adapter if your computer has an SD port, or you can use a USB adapter if necessary. This Blueprint assumes you have access to a USB modem, mouse, and HDMI connected monitor. Need a USB keyboard and mouse? Try Amazon’s keyboard and mouse bundle pack.
