[chbot] Group project: Wireless remote security monitor

[Andy ZL3AG]

I've just heard through the grapevine that there are burglars operating in the area that utilise a drone for reconnaissance.

I'd like to deploy a number of devices with the following specs around the property and I suspect I'm not the only one here who would find them useful.

Hardware:
Hi-res camera
Solar panel and 18650 for power
10GHz wireless for communication
Bluetooth

Features:
Remote storage of time lapse photos + motion detection option
Remote logging of all bluetooth ID's in vicinity
Remote logging of all WiFi ID's in vicinity
Remote logging of all Cellphone ID's in vicinity (if possible)
Alarm via email if motion detection triggered
Alarm via email if certain bluetooth ID detected
Drone in vicinity detection?

My reason for logging bluetooth is because if the burglars can be identified by their phone's bluetooth ID, then I suspect the police could track them down using NZTA's bluetooth traffic monitoring system.

How do people feel about collaborating on hardware choice, group buy and software dev?

Robin has already put together a potential base system (ESP32 with everything there except the camera?).

It would certainly be nice to be able to help collar these guys and keep our stuff safe.

Thoughts?

(I hope I don't break the mailing list again).
