How to Go Further
In this chapter, you learned how to connect a USB camera to your Arduino Yun and build an
exciting project on top of it. We built a security camera that automatically uploads pictures
on Dropbox when motion is detected by a motion sensor.
Of course, there are several ways to build other cool applications using this project. You can
for example drop the motion detection part, and build a camera that take snapshots at regular
intervals and upload these on Dropbox. You can for example easily create time-lapse videos
with this kind of project: just collect the pictures from your Dropbox account, paste them
into a time-lapse software, and done! You can also extend this project by adding more Yun
and camera modules, to build a complete monitoring system for your home.
