Overview of this book

This book is designed to introduce you to IoT and Raspberry Pi 3. It will help you create interesting projects, such as setting up a weather station and measuring temperature and humidity using sensors; it will also show you how to send sensor data to cloud for visualization in real-time. Then we shift our focus to leveraging IoT for accomplishing complex tasks, such as facial recognition using the Raspberry Pi camera module, AWS Rekognition, and the AWS S3 service. Furthermore, you will master security aspects by building a security surveillance system to protect your premises from intruders using Raspberry Pi, a camera, motion sensors, and AWS Cloud. We'll also create a real-world project by building a Wi-Fi – controlled robot car with Raspberry Pi using a motor driver circuit, DC motor, and a web application. This book is a must-have as it provides a practical overview of IoT’s existing architectures, communication protocols, and security threats at the software and hardware levels—security being the most important aspect of IoT.

Summary

During our journey through this chapter, we discussed IR sensors, PIR sensors, and ultrasonic sensors in detail. We have also learned how to use Raspberry Pi camera module and how to send email notification programmatically; finally we stitched together all the components to build a security surveillance system. Now, we can go out without worrying about the security of our home in our absence.

In Chapter 7, Image Recognition, we will learn about face recognition techniques and build a face recognition system using Raspberry Pi.
