DIY Home Security System using Raspberry Pi
DIY Home Security System – Hardware assembling
In this step we will prepare the hardware at the prototype level. A few wire cutting and soldering is required. At the end when we have validated the working prototype we will assemble the final product.
Prepare the wires, solder the resistor on one wire (be sure you add the shrink tube before soldering. The long wire connected to the door should be measured to cover the distance from door to the device.
Home Security Device – cut and strip the wires
Home Security Device – solder wires and resistor
Home Security Device – heat the shrink pipe
Connect the jumpers to pin 1 and 27. See Raspberry PI GPIO documentation
Home Security Device – connect wire jumpers to GPIO raspberry pi pins
Connect the end of long wire to the magnetic sensor using screws.
Home Security Device – connect magnetic sensor
Connect the camera following the Raspberry Pi Camera tutorial.
Plug also the WIFI dongle into one of the USB ports.
