Abstract

This study focuses on building a motion- activated security camera system using the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as the main controller. The system combines a USB camera, buzzer, LED, and a light bulb to detect motion and respond in real-time. When movement is noticed, the camera records video, while alerts are sent visually and audibly. Users also receive an email with details of the event. The setup is cost- effective, easy to maintain, and suitable for both homes and small businesses. Future improvements like AI-based threat detection and smart responses are also considered.
