I received my Raspberry Pi Zero W a couple of weeks ago and finally had the chance to set it up. My goal is to to setup some cameras in my basement and garage. Prerequisites Here are links to the products and prices I purchased on Amazon and CanaKit at the time. The prices might vary slightly if you purchase them. Pi Zero Wireless Starter Kit – $34.95 Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 – 8 Megapixel – $24.40 Bringing the total cost of this setup to: $69.35 (including shipping). If you’re looking for something with more features, you can purchase indoor wireless IP camera’s online. Some of them even have 2-way audio which I use to keep tabs on my dogs and general security. For my purposes, and where they’ll be placed, I don’t need that type of functionality. Also, you get the reward of building something yourself with greater control. Setup I decided to use the Raspbian Jessie Lite distribution for my setup since it’s a smaller SD card and there won’t be any GUI. You can download it here from the Raspberry Pi website by selecting “Download ZIP”. Alright, here we go: Connect the SD card to your computer. Note that it must be formatted as FAT32. The one I purchased above was already formatted in FAT32. Open “Disk Utility”. To do this, click on the magnifying glass in the top-right corner of your computer screen. Type “disk utility” in the search box that opens, then click on the “Disk Utility” Application that comes up and click on “APPLE SD Card Reader Media”. Note the “Device:”; it will look something like disk(n) where (n) is a number (for example, disk1). Make sure you take a note of this number. Mine was disk1. Now, right click on “NO NAME” or “Untitled” on the left and select “Unmount” from the menu. This will unmount the partition so that you can write to the disk. Now open terminal and run the following command: [crayon-694a82ade69cb563080392/] Remember to replace (n) with the number that you noted before and (PATH_OF_THE_IMAGE_YOU_DOWNLOADED.img) to the path of the
