It’s a crude hack but is ok for the moment. I’ve added the following python script to /home/pi/DropboxSync/control.py to give a bit of remote control over the camera. The python script could do with some better error checking and it should probably avoid using the default temp directory, but it works as a quick hack. I had to play with the settings in nf (see the youtube video) but it seems to be working ok. * * * * * python /home/pi/DropboxSync/upload.py # Sync webcam files dropboxįiles should start appearing in your DropBox account (assuming the motion daemon on the raspberry pi is up and running). Then add the following entry to the bottom: Step 6: Add a cron job to run the python file every minute. I saved the following in file ~/DropboxSync/upload.py:Ĭmd = "/home/pi/DropboxSync/dropbox_uploader.sh upload " + file_full_path Step 5: Create a simple python script to upload files from the webcam directory to Dropbox. I saved the script under ~/DropboxSync/dropbox_uploader.sh. Follow the instructions in the readme file to get connected to your DropBox account. Step 4: Get the dropbox uploader script from.

Step 3: Sign up for a DropBox account, if you don’t have one.

Step 2: Follow this youtube video from MileyORiley to set up your raspberry pi as a webcam server: Step 1: Connect the raspberry pi into your router via the ethernet. It takes shots every 5 mins, then records continuously if any movement is detected. I’ve set up a simple home security system using my raspberry pi and a playstation eye camera I had lying around.
