What If It Doesn’t Work?
If you have any problems with the PIR sensor, take a look at What If It Doesn’t Work?. Attaching the camera is unusual but not a big deal. Still, if it isn’t working, check to be sure you’ve plugged in the cable correctly.
The Pi camera is a great tool and toy for many purposes. Its main advantage is that you can easily control it programmatically. It’s a perfect tool for creating time-lapse videos of your latest birthday party or for turning it into a dashboard camera in your car. It also can be the basis for a burglar alarm, but it works best in well-lighted environments.
