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.

Security Surveillance

Are you worried about security of your home in your absence? Then you need not worry at all because you can build your own security surveillance system in no time.

So, let's build a security surveillance system that will keep an eye on your home, shops, offices, garage, or any other property in your absence. If someone trespasses on your property, it will raise an alarm, take photographs and a video recording of the trespassers, and send them to you over email.

In this chapter, we will learn about the following modules, which are used to build the system:

  • Infrared sensors
  • Ultrasonic sensor
  • Alarm/buzzer
  • LED
  • Raspberry Pi camera module
  • Raspberry Pi 3
