Summary


In this chapter, there was very little hardware work to do, but on the other hand, we discovered how to use a really powerful tool named motion. This tool allows us to realize (quasi) professional, if minimal, anti-intrusion system. Also, you learned how to send simple e-mails with attached pictures to inform the user about an important event in the system.
