Don't forget that you'll still need an IR light source, such as this IR LED illuminator or this IR LED rack in order for the camera to see. If you'll be shooting in the dark, use the NoIR camera instead so you have the power to see in the darkness. An example would be if the room always has lights on, such as a lobby. In general, the standard camera will work great indoors when you expect the environment to be lit at the time you want to observe it. You can see the differences more clearly in the video below, skip the first 40 seconds to get right to the action. This means it can see more of the light spectrum than a standard camera, giving it the major advantage in night vision, but at the cost of appearing washed out during the day. As the name implies, it has no IR (infrared) filter.
The standard camera is just like the camera you have on your smartphone, but not quite as high quality. Both are 8 Megapixel, and shoot in 1080p. There are two types of camera boards that we can use for the Pi. Additionally, we will be able to set up motion detection, so that we don't have to watch hours and hours of nothing happening.
To put it in simple terms, this will let us set up as many Raspberry Pi cameras as we want, all connected on a single pretty web interface that we can forward to the internet, and view anywhere in the world. The OS is based on BuildRoot and uses motion as a backend and motionEye for the frontend. MotionEyeOS is a Linux distribution that turns a single-board computer into a video surveillance system. To make this build as quick and simple as possible, we will be using a custom image for the Raspberry Pi called motionEyeOS. If put in place within the target area, it could be used to gather information, like watching targets type their passwords, taking pictures of keys, and observing how users respond to attacks. Prior to launching an attack, the camera can also be used to perform stealthy recon to observe target behavior in an area, as well as any security measures.

This is what the build we are making today is best configured for.ĭon't Miss: How to Hack CCTV Private Cameras The first is to help secure a compound from physical entry with the classic CCTV setup. So now that you can make one easily, there are two main ways a hacker can use a spy camera. Thanks to the almost plug-and-play nature of the Raspberry Pi, throwing together a customizable day or night vision camera is cheap and easy. What couldn't you use a 1 inch, sub $40 spy camera for? Really though, sophisticated surveillance has traditionally been out of reach to most people, and it's only been recently that boards like the Pi Zero W have been powerful enough to make these cool devices.
Today, we will use motionEyeOS running on a Raspberry Pi Zero to create a small, concealable Wi-Fi connected spy camera that is both affordable and easily concealed. Watching targets yourself isn't always practical, and traditional surveillance camera systems can be costly, lacking in capabilities, or both. Surveillance is always a useful tool in a hacker's arsenal, whether deployed offensively or defensively.
