Therefore, the system allows you to connect to it only through a user account when the IP of the Raspberry PI is known and the device is running.
This system uses a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and an USB webcam. The system sends a notification when it detects motion.
The webcam is connected to Raspberry PI. Using a browser we will connect to the web server running on Raspberry PI. The system allows you to connect to it only through a user account when the IP of the Raspberry PI is known and the device is running.
