ScarePi

  • This has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

Installation

1) Install a fresh Raspberry Pi OS Lite 10.9

  1. Flash the Pi with the Image using Raspberry Pi Imager, or whatever you want
  2. Make sure you are using a "Lite" Image without Desktop Environment

2) Enable ssh

  1. Copy the "ssh" file from the boot folder to the boot partition on your sd

3) Configure you WiFi

  1. Copy the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file from the boot folder to the boot partition on your sd
  2. Modify the file according to your needs

Use passwd to change the password

passwd

/usr/bin/bash install.sh

8) Change Hostname (optional)

  1. Change the Hostname if wanted
sudo echo "Your-new-Hostname" > /etc/hostname
reboot
  1. Change the Samba Password (Windows File Share) if wanted, but take care of escaping
sudo smbpasswd -a scarepi

FAQ

1) How can I trigger the Videos?

You need to call the url!

http://192.168.0.10/index.cgi?trigger=true

Use wget, your browser, or whatever you want

wget http://192.168.0.10/index.cgi?trigger=true

2) What is the Trigger for?

  • If you are using Home-Automation you can call this url when a Event occurs, on for example a "Motion Sensor"
  • I am using it in combination with IOBroker. As soon as a Motion Sensors gets triggered the URL gets called and the Playback starts
