The Idea
- Use solar panel to harvest energy
- Store the energy in a left over car battery
- Power a Pi with camera and 3G-Stick
- Make a nice webcam out of it :)
How To
Update your Pi
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Install USB-Modeswitch
apt-get install usb-modeswitch
(you'll need this later to switch your stick from mass storage to modem mode)
Create network interface
Add to /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth1 inet dhcp allow-hotplug eth1 shutdown -r now
Tips
- Remember that this Pi is in the wild and easily stolen or all the data read
- Don't use your usual passwords for this project
- Don't store keys on the Pi
- Let your master server fetch the data
- Create a special user to access the data from remote
