For those that are very un-imaginative or from Missouri “The Show Me State” or from the UK - I am going to spell out a unique application using the spycam key fob camera and the Ardunio.
Application: Warehouse zone security after normal business hours.
To detect personnel stealing after work hours. The modules are installed in a PIR sensor shell enclosure.
The Arduino acts as a "bridge" between the spycam keyfob and PIR, RF/TTL and RTC.
The input to the Arduino is a PIR (passive infrared) sensor, which has to have a special algorithm for calibration "in free air" and to read the pulse trigger input and process it so it would trigger the spycam recording. Other inputs would include an RF key fob receiver/transmitter to activate and de-activate the spycam recording. Also there would be a I2c real time clock which would allow the proper time for which the spycam is permitted to record. Also there are status LEDs for PIR activation status, recording status and battery status.
Note: The spycam is limited to ONLY to two hours of recording and by using the PIR sensor and RTC and the Arduino bridge to limit the recording of events within this time frame.
