A web interface to remotely control/schedule 433MHz power switches, a PIR sensor alarm, and record from foscam IP cameras all through a Raspberry Pi. At the very least it needs IP cameras and of course a Raspberry Pi to function.

Check this article for instructions and screenshots.

All configuration is handle in the file: config.ini

i) Configure your cameras in the appropriate sections [camera1], [camera2]

ii) Enable the camera module "use_camera_module=" in section [config]. Switches d, e handle 
    the recording for the cameras

iii) Configure a save directory in the [config] section, "save_to_dir=" 

iii) Alter the crontab so user www-data can modify crontabs under the user pi
www-data ALL=(pi) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/crontab

iv) Install ffmpeg (See below)

1. Install lighttpd and php5 from http://chris-labs.de/hardware/raspberrypi/2013/10/10/raspberrypi-433mhz-switch-control.html

   i) sudo apt-get install lighttpd mysql-server php5-common php5-cgi php5 php5-mysql php5-cli

   ii) Tell lighttpd to use fastcgi-php and reload the server: sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php sudo service lighttpd force-reload

   iii) Set permissions for the pi-user:

    sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www
    sudo chmod 775 /var/www
    sudo usermod -a -G www-data pi
   

   iv) sudo chmod -vR g+w /var/www/mypihc sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/mypihc

2. Install Crontab Manager https://github.com/TiBeN/CrontabManager

   i) install composer: echo "" | php > composer.phar sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

   ii) composer require tiben/crontab-manager ~1.0

3. Required Linux binaries

   i) sudo apt-get install wget

   ii) ffmpeg (needs to be compiled for latest release)

    git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg
    cd ffmpeg
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
   

4. If you want to use a 433Mhz TX/RX module (OPTIONAL) (Cheap transmitter/receiver: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5pcs-433Mhz-RF-transmitter-and-receiver-kit-for-Arduino-/251673838721?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a98ee0481)

   i) Follow the instructions to install the wiringpi library. After that you can compile the example programs by executing make. Install WiringPi from https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/download-and-install//

   ii) git clone git://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils.git

   iii) cd 433Kit/RPi_utils

   iv) Change line "mySwitch.send(code, 26);" in codesend.cpp (I had to do this in my case as my codes were longer), execute make all

   v) Copy codesend to {PATH_TO_WWW}/mypihc/bin

   vi) NOTE You will need to use RFSniffer to get your specific codes and then enter them in the config.ini in the appropriate section. Switches a, b in the config file handle this.

   vii) Enable the module "use_433mhz_module=" in section [config]

   viii) For the 433mhz emitter if using it www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: {PATH_TO_WWW}/mypihc/bin/codesend

5. If you want to use a PIR Sensor (OPTIONAL)

   i) PIR setup instructions http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2013/01/cheap-pir-sensors-and-the-raspberry-pi-part-1/

   ii) Enable the module "use_pir_module=" in section [config]. Switch c handles this.

   iii) Configure the options in the [pir] section

    - "email_on_motion": will email you provided you fill out the [email] section
    - "record_on_motion": kicks off a recording from a give camera when motion is triggered (record_with_camera1)
    - "arm_camera": turns on the camera's built-in email images feature (of course you need to configure the camera appropriately)
    - "send_sms": sends an email to your phone (to the email set in "email_sms" configured in [email] section)
   

   iv) Grant sudo access www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /{PATH_TO_WWW}/mypihc/bin/pir/pir.sh

6. If you want to use the DHT22 temperature and humdity sensor (OPTIONAL) (Watch for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHTnU1T8ETk)

   i) Pinout on the DHT22 PIN 1 --> VCC, PIN 2 --> GPIO 4, PIN 3 --> NOT USED, PIN 4 --> GROUND

   ii) Voltage divider need to protect GPIO pin

   For DHT22 5V operation connect pin 1 to 5V and pin 4 to ground.

   The following pin 2 connection works for me. Use at YOUR OWN RISK.

    5V--5K_resistor--+--10K_resistor--Ground
                     |
    DHT22 pin 2 -----+
                     |
    gpio ------------+
   

   iii) Compile instructions: cd ~ git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git cd Adafruit_Python_DHT sudo python setup.py install

   iv) Enable the module "use_dht22_module=" in section [config]

   v) Grant sudo access www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /{PATH_TO_WWW}/mypihc/bin/dht22/dht22.sh
