WiFi Security Camera with Pico W - Home Security Kit v4
Home Security Motion Sensor Kit v4 - Build a Pico W WiFi Camera with Motion-Activated Recording
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform your Raspberry Pi Pico W into a fully functional home security camera that streams live MJPEG video to any browser over WiFi. The built-in PIR sensor triggers automatic recording to a microSD card whenever motion is detected, creating a reliable surveillance system you built yourself.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact camera unit that connects to your home WiFi and serves a live video feed you can view from a phone or laptop. Motion events are captured instantly, with timestamped video files saved to SD for later review. The entire system fits in the included ABS enclosure.
What You'll Learn
- Solder and wire a Pico W, OV2640 camera, PIR sensor, and microSD module on a prototyping board.
- Configure MicroPython firmware and libraries for camera streaming and SD card writing.
- Set up a WiFi access point and HTTP video server to stream MJPEG video.
- Program motion-triggered event handling with LED status indicators and file management.

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students building their final electronics project, B.Tech ECE/EEE students prototyping IoT security systems, and participants in Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Lab challenges who need a reliable, ready-to-code kit.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access your AI build companion trained specifically on this kit. You can also reach our team on WhatsApp for direct help.
Do I need to write code from scratch?
No. The kit includes pre-written MicroPython scripts that you'll flash to the Pico W, with guidance on customizing WiFi credentials and recording settings.
Can I access the camera feed remotely from outside my home?
This kit streams locally over your WiFi network. For remote access, you can later add port forwarding or a cloud integration using the same hardware.
What video resolution and frame rate can I expect?
The OV2640 streams MJPEG at up to 800x600 resolution at around 5-10 fps, ideal for motion detection and basic surveillance.
Home Security - Pico W with OV2640 streams MJPEG video to browser over WiFi. PIR trigger starts recording to SD.
