Security cameras are important for many businesses. In this article, I will go over how to build a Raspberry Pi security camera to keep your business safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end, you will have a camera with a feed that you can access from anywhere in the world, provided you have an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And setting up a project like this only takes about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why a Raspberry Pi Security Camera?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are countless security cameras on the market that are available for purchase. However, with a Raspberry Pi camera, you have far greater control over the hardware and therefore over the security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Forbes reported last year<\/a>, smart security cameras are “a hacker’s dream” and put your business at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same article, there are three recommendations to manage the cybersecurity of the security cameras:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Be aware of all the cameras on the network<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Give strong passwords and regularly change them<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Update the firmware regularly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Now, it’s possible to do this with many of the smart security cameras available, but it’s undoubtedly easier with a Raspberry Pi. Using a Raspberry Pi can ensure that you are up-to-date on all of these points, because you have direct access to both the hardware and the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
