You can also use it as a pet monitor, and you can even program it to send you entire videos. It uses a Raspberry Pi with an inexpensive mini camera module that connects to your wifi.

I also simplify and explain the process of installing the software and setting up the Pi, including:
1) setting up your gmail account to work with the Raspberry Pi
2) the code for motion detection
3) configuring the raspberry pi to run the script on startup
Raspberry Pi 4b: amzn.to/40NDWgF
Camera module: amzn.to/4jNEFqz
USB-C power adapter: amzn.to/3Q4vqVy
