fear of (a) average mind

RasPi + camera + WiFi adapter + power supply + internet accsess

● Detects when a door is opened
● Notification on phone/tablet via PushBullet
● Records 10 sencond videos (3 of them) and uploads to Dropbox


Install python pushbullet:

pip install pushbullet.py

Install Dropbox-Uploader:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader/
chmod +x ~/Dropbox-Uploader/dropbox_uploader.sh
cd ~/Dropbox-Uploader
./dropbox_uploader.sh

SecCam.py

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import picamera
import subprocess

from pushbullet import Pushbullet
from time import sleep

camera = picamera.PiCamera()
camera.rotation = 270

pb = Pushbullet("YOUR KEY HERE")
localtime = time.asctime( time.localtime(time.time()) )

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

GPIO.setup(13, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

while True:
    input_state = GPIO.input(13)
    if input_state == False:
        print('Door activated')
        push = pb.push_note("Door opened", localtime)
        print('Start video 1')
        camera.start_recording('/home/pi/1.video.h264')
        sleep(10)
        camera.stop_recording()
        print('Stop video 1')
        time.sleep(2)
        print('Start video 2')
        camera.start_recording('/home/pi/2.video.h264')
        sleep(10)
        camera.stop_recording()
        print('Stop video 2')
        time.sleep(2)
        print('Start video 3')

        print('Stop video 3')
        time.sleep(2)
        subprocess.call("/home/pi/copyVID2DB.sh")

        print('Videos uploaded to DropBox')

copyVID2DB.sh

#!/bin/sh

NOW=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y")

/home/pi//Dropbox-Uploader/dropbox_uploader.sh upload /home/pi/1.video.h264 /YourDropBoxFolder/$NOW.1.h264
/home/pi//Dropbox-Uploader/dropbox_uploader.sh upload /home/pi/2.video.h264 /YourDropBoxFolder/$NOW.2.h264
/home/pi//Dropbox-Uploader/dropbox_uploader.sh upload /home/pi/3.video.h264 /YourDropBoxFolder/$NOW.3.h264

rm -rf /home/pi/1.video.h264
rm -rf /home/pi/2.video.h264
rm -rf /home/pi/3.video.h264

If you want it to run at startup put this line in /etc/rc.local:

sudo python /home/pi/SecCam.py &

Now connect wires to PIN 13 and a ground and make them connect when the door is opened.

Just a quick post to confirm the Ortlieb Front Roller Classic panniers do indeed fit fine on the Specialized AWOL front "pizza rack".
You just have to flip the bottom rail, which is quite easy (see the second pic).
Couldn't find a pic anywhere of the two together when researching so I thought I'd make this post for anyone wondering.


Hope this helps.
