Hi guys,
I'm new to Arduino world, and hope to get some startup guidance on my 1st project:
- hook and power Arduino Uno via a single USB port to Seagate Docstar plug computer running Linux
- Uno and attached to it extra board(s) would be in a separate small enclosure
- when a closed office entrance door is opened, a magnetic door switch would trigger an IP camera start recording
- when the door is closed, the cam would stop recording after a set time period of inactivity
- an SMS is sent to my phone when the door is opened or closed
What extra hardware & software do I need for this project?
How I can setup and control Uno work from Windows and/or Linux PC on Lan, as Docstar doesn't have any video ports to hook a monitor?
Can Uno work be controlled or door open/close events monitored from mobile phone via web?
