Hi Raspberry Pi community!
I've developed an open-source software stack for building your own Raspberry Pi security camera. It has the following features:All you need is a Pi Zero 2, a camera module, an SD card (32GB+). Optionally you can also add a microphone and a passive buzzer.
It's a firmware image, so you just need to use the Pi Imager to flash it and you are good to go! After you're done you can connect your camera via the connect panel. Here is the full setup guide and download for the image: https://rootprivacy.com/blog/building-y ... ity-camera
If you prefer, you can also build the firmware image yourself! Here is the GitHub repository: https://github.com/therealPaulPlay/root-firmware
I hope you have fun with this![:-)]( "Smile")
