Hi
I wan't to use the RPI as security camera. When detecting a motion on PIR module it should take a picture/video and send it through email.
I attached a RPICamerav3 on a RPI5 with 4gbram and I'm using a SR501 for motion detection.
I installed and configured postfix to use gmail as outgoing smtp through sasl.
I wrote a simple python script to make it works but when I activate email sending it triggers false positives on the PIR.
If I deactivate the mail-sending part it works fine and capture what I request but once I activate the email sending it trigger false positive (I tried to put a time.sleep(20) after each detection and it solve the problem but I makes 'blind' moments
here below the script (I changed the emails for anonymization) :
