This book shows you how to build and modify your own wifi camera based commercial quality portable wireless security, surveillance, and spy system appropriate for use at home, or during travel. This system uses only an Android cell phone or tablet(operating system 2.2 and above), a TI CC3200 Launchpad or ArduCAM CC3200 UNO, and a TI Camera Booster Pack with MT9D111 digital camera or just an ArduCAM MT9D111 digital camera if you are using an ArduCAM CC3200 Uno which has a built in camera interface. This book shows you how to build and modify your own alarm system that detects the motion of an intruder, calls out to an emergency phone number and sends emergency text messages using an Android cell phone or just alerts you to the intruder using an Android tablet. This alarm system is compact enough to also provide portable security for travelers using hotels and motels or you can use this as a hidden spy camera system. You can also use the security system for high quality continuous real time surveillance of your property. The live video feed is shown on the Android device. The camera can be set to only record pictures where there is movement so you can easily view any saved images to determine what kind of intruder was detected. The image data is stored locally on the Android device and does NOT require payment of storage fees as with some home security company plans. This book will also go into the technical details of the hardware set up as well as the author created Android and TI CC3200 SimpleLink software. With these technical details you will be able to customize and expand these systems to suit your specific needs for your own personal use. This book also serves as a quick start guide for people interested in learning how to program wifi communication between an Android and a TI CC3200 Simplelink device.
