RaspberryPi Home security (Home project)

Components:

• RaspberryPi
• old USB GSM modem stick ( unused, collecting dust in a drawer )
• ordinary USB Webcam

Plan:

I have http server already running on  RaspberryPi.

I can communicate with Modem via minicom (/dev/ttyUSB0), so I will write a simple program that sends SMS using AT Commands.

I can get pictures from webcam , so I will put it, so it can be viewed on web.
Or even send to me via email.

I can access gpio, so I can detect if doors were open...
Or maybe I will connect a movement sensor to it (similar that one used in stairways, to turn the light on and off).


                                                  AWESOME!!!

 I will put more info later!
