be used to quickly determine which boot series it is from, and it will also show accurate
time and date in the case of Model-B.
Power consumption
In idle condition, Pi draws 117 mA, and it rises to about 286 mA when camera becomes
active. So a 3,200 mAh battery pack should easily give 12 hours operation. Next step is to
assemble Pi and place it into a handy windowsill.
First run
Place the Raspberry Pi and the battery pack in a windowsill and properly attach the
camera to the window with tape. Allow it to boot up. Wait for 12 hours, and after 12
hours, it will contain at least 5,518 JPEG files. Remove it from the Pi and connect it to
your PC. You can now browse through the collected photographs. This will find good use
in crime detection and home security.
In Chapter 12, we shall learn about using Raspberry Pi as a FM transmitter.
