Intruder Detection Using Raspberry Pi Pico and thermal camera

By Bianchi Gabriele on May 11, 2021

The home security camera does a good job, but it may not work in complete darkness. You also don’t want your gadget to trigger a false alarm if it detects, for example, a cat. In this project we will see how to build a small-scale system that just turns on an LED when it detects a person in light or dark conditions using a Raspberry Pi Pico and a thermal camera. We use Seeed Wio Terminal for the collection of data that is saved on a micro SD card integrated in the Wio terminal.
