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

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

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.
