Internet of Things Programming with JavaScript

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things is taking the tech world by storm, and JavaScript is at its helm. This book will get you to grips with this exciting new technology. Where do Node.js, HTML5 and Windows 10 IoT Core come in with JavaScript and IoT? Why Raspberry Pi Zero rather than Arduino? How do you configure and build an IoT network from scratch? All your IoT JavaScript questions are answered in this book.

Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how to configure a web cam connected to the network and monitor your security system for the Internet of Things. We used your Arduino Board to connect the security camera, and Raspberry Pi Zero connected to the network to monitor the system. In the next chapter, we will integrate our system, the Raspberry Pi Zero, with Arduino, to build a complete system-connected device and monitor.
