Motion detecting CCTV for linux with Google Drive upload

A program that wraps motion, uploading any videos recorded to your Google Drive.

Based on the on the original work by Jeremy Blythe - Motion Google Drive Uploader

Works great on Raspberry Pi with camera module!

Features

  • All features of motion (see here for details)
  • Upload captured videos to a Google Drive location of your choice
  • Automatically delete videos once uploaded (so you don't fill up your Pi's disk)
  • Automatically upload a photo every x minutes so you can get a near real-time view from the camera even if no video capture was triggered.
  • Optional email notification when video is captured.

Recommended Hardware

This program shoudl work on any linux box that motion runs on. Recommend Raspberry Pi v2 or above - will probably work on v1, but not tested. Later models have better CPU.

To Do

  • Delete videos older than x days from Google drive.
