I wanted to create a network camera that is capable of capturing movement and be able to access it easily through an app. Furthermore, the Telegram app isn't something that I am not familiar with as it also have been in the market for quite some time now.
The idea of this project is to use the ESP32-CAM with the PIR sensor to notify me if the delivery person is at my door (as sometimes there's no one at home... or I could be busy blasting my earbuds with music π ).
So I had this ESP32-CAM for a few years now and ashamed to say... didn't really do anything to it haha.. Alas! I took the courage to make something out of it.
Luckily I stumbled upon Rui Santos's amazing website, and it did make it clearer for me to carry out this project since he has already done a similar one.
In his website you can also follow his step by step tutorial on how to install the intended libraries to run this project too!
I hope this project serves well for you! π
/* ESP32-CAM PIR motion sensor to Telegram alert
Using the below mentioned project as the base template,
I wanted to create a network camera that is capable of
capturing movement and be able to access it easily
through an app. The idea was to use it to notify me if
the delivery person is at my door (as sometimes there's no one at home).
Luckily I stumbled upon Rui Santos's amazing website,
and it did make it easier for me since he has already done
such a project.
You can follow his step by step tutorial on how to
install the intended libraries to run this project too!
Components:
- Arduino Uno
- ESP32-CAM
- HC-SR501 PIR sensor
- Green LED
- 220Ohm resistor
- Helping-Hands tool with alligator clips
- Breadboard
- Some jumper wires
