# Security Camera Blueprint
### Build a remote security monitoring device.

**Disclaimer: The blueprints and information made available on this page are examples only and are not to be used for production purposes. Twilio disclaims any warranties and liabilities under any legal theory (including, without limitation, breach of contract, tort, and indemnification) in connection with your use of or reliance on the blueprints. Any liabilities that arise in connection with your use of these blueprints shall solely be borne by you. By accessing and downloading these blueprints, you agree to the foregoing terms.**

Full instructions for this tutorial can be found in the [Security Camera Blueprint](https://www.twilio.com/wireless/blueprints/security-camera/). This repository includes all files neccessary to build the [Security Camera Blueprint](https://www.twilio.com/wireless/blueprints/security-camera/).

**Problem** All businesses desire safety for property, assets, and employees, but most cannot afford or rely on a hired security team. A low-cost, reliable, simple remote security solution would provide peace of mind around the protection of enterprise resources.


**Solution** Remove the hassle from remote monitoring with the best practices discussed in this Blueprint, designed to accelerate the development of new security solutions and products. We will create a Twilio-powered device that keeps watch over remote locations and alerts administrators of intrusions or safety concerns. Constantly monitoring, the device notifies stakeholders of events that threaten assets or safety.


**Degree of Difficulty (1-5): 3**  This device requires some knowledge of Raspberry Pi, software installation, and some Linux features including the command line.

### What You’ll Need

Before we get started, here's a quick overview of what you'll need to build the Security Camera

**Materias lists**
Electronic Components
* [Twilio Programmable Wireless Starter Pack](https://www.twilio.com/console/wireless/sims/orders/new)
* [Wireless Security Camera shopping list](http://bit.ly/2A51Nvk)

The Wireless Starter Kit in the shopping list comes with an 8GB micro SD card. You will need a [microSD adapter](https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSD-Memory-Adapter-MICROSD-ADAPTER/dp/B0047WZOOO/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501698065&sr=1-4&keywords=micro+sd+card+to) if your computer has an SD port, or you can use a [USB adapter](https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Standard-Connector-Smartphones-Function/dp/B01BXSKPES/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1501697821&sr=8-6&keywords=micro+sd+to+sd+adapter) if necessary. This Blueprint assumes you have access to a USB modem, mouse, and HDMI connected monitor. Need a USB keyboard and mouse?
