Inspiration

We wanted to dabble into hardware and were interested in learning how to stream data to a UI

What it does

The raspberry pi is setup with Infared sensors and a camera. The sensors notify the raspberry pi if motion is detected and if it is the camera is used to take a picture. The picture and time stamp of the event is used to log the event in the database. The camera also streams video to the app. The app's main purpose was to control the raspberry pi by turning it off and on as well as receive notifications and images if motion is detected. The app is also used to view the activity log, which shows a list of all times motion was detected.

How we built it

We began by splitting the team up to all work on different sections. We had people on frontend, backend, and hardware. Along the way we

Challenges we ran into

We were originally targeting to accomplish a security system but ran in to a lot of issues with implementing the actual security, so we had to simplify it. Also, time and sleep were challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We used a lot of different languages, frameworks, libraries so with a lot of things changing, we learned to be very agile in development. We also all got experience with something new
