- \section{Goal}
- ZoneMinder is a GNU/Linux FOSS CCTV program, and it has the ability to interface with external hardware sensors. I wanted to build a simple, but functional, and practical board to use as a hardware motion detector. Onboard software motion detecting is faulty, and spotty. Transitions from IR to Non-IR, leaves blowing in the wind, bright lights - all these things can cause false alarms. Hardware motion sensors have the potential to mitigate hopefully 100 percent of false alarms, and give the user a reliable alarm and camera monitoring system.
- \section{Revision One}
- It was decided to create the hardware motion detector or modector in a frugal manner, for the average hobbyist, or homeowner to be able to build it. ENC28J60 was used for internet (thus a wired connection), UIPEthernet will be the Arduino Ethernet library (available from library manager), and a 5GHz microware motion detector was used. \footnote {the HFS-DC06H, which is similar in function to the HB100 board, but includes the circuitry needed to give a digital logic high, when motion is detected. Other options are PIR (prone to faulty alarms in sunlight, but works well in dark areas. Additional software programming needed, or a light sensor), Ultrasonic (possibly damaging to animals...), and laser or actually infrared diode sensors such as the Sick sensor (these work well, but can be stepped over), among others.}

- The first revision of this board came upon some problems, which were obvious upon soldering the first board. Originally, the board, which is an Arduino shield, was designed to make the assembly process easier. Early prototypes used protoboard, and required about 2 hours for building at least. The shield could be developed in the same amount of time, and then all future builds can be done within 30 minutes. However, the first shield had the first following problems:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item The ENC modules are designed with headers soldered on, and that makes removal of them quite difficult.
- \item Users might want other sensors, and while feature creep is an issue that is to be wary of, I see no reason to throw a few other sensors on the board in a strictly optional sense (use them or not, no matter).
- \item In the same idea, a microphone and speaker may be useful.
- \end{itemize}
