Ideally, there would also be an LED that flashes near the windshield when the alarm is armed.Ĥ) I would like to have a camera in the vehicle that records the inside of the car based on an event (if a door is open when the system is armed, for example).ĥ) I run a Plex server at home and I would like to use a converter to convert the HDMI output from the Pi and connect this to the A/V input on my Kenwood double din receiver to use as a Plex client/media center.Ħ) Lastly, I would like to use the ODB-II connection of my vehicle to send data to the Pi to be viewed on the same A/V input on the Kenwood receiver. I would also like to integrate a voice system to play a pre-recorded message inside the vehicle when the alarm is activated. I would also like to add a glass break sensor, field disturbance sensor, tilt sensor, and siren to sound when the alarm is activated. I would like to integrate with the existing devices on each door that currently turn the dome light on when a door is open. I have done smaller project with the Pi, but never something that integrates different peripheral devices.ġ) I am looking to use a Raspberry Pi 4B with a GPS/LTE HAT that sends location data to a Traccar server.Ģ) I would also like for this LTE connection to provide a Wi-Fi hotspot that can be used as any other internet connection while driving the vehicle.ģ) For the alarm system, I would like the system to “arm” when my factory wireless fob is used to lock the vehicle, and “disarm” when the fob is used to unlock the vehicle. I completely understand the wiring and relay logic side of this project, but I am lacking the programming knowledge, and general Pi integration side of this project.
I also have an Arduino Uno laying around, which might be a better alternative for a car alarm, but I think it would lack the other features that I am looking for.īy trade, I am a low voltage electrician, installing and servicing access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance systems for the government. I have tinkered around with Raspberry Pi in the past and currently use one at home for Pi-hole and a VPN server, so naturally using a Pi was my first thought. At this point, I thought that I could build something cheaper and get more features in the long run. The GPS modules are relatively inexpensive, but a decent car alarm is another story. I looked into GPS systems that offer the vehicle remote-disable feature and I also looked into upgrading my factory alarm.
#Rpi traccar license#
Long story short, I was not able to track the Cradlepoint since the version I had required a separate paid license to enable the GPS, but I would like to utilize this Traccar server for this build. I run an Unraid server at home and Traccar has a docker available, so I installed it and began to learn everything I could about it.
#Rpi traccar free#
I came across Traccar, which is a free and open source GPS tracking server. I knew this device was also capable of doing GPS, so I started looking into ways to track the device.
When it was stolen the first time, I had a Cradlepoint mobile router in the car that I was using as a hotspot. It was recovered again, but this time I would like to take some additional measures to make sure that if it does happen again, I will be able to find it immediately and send a command to disable the ignition. Well, as my luck would have it, my car was stolen for the second time about two weeks ago. After I got it back, I changed all the locks and ignition and tested the factory alarm system, which was working as expected. My vehicle (1999 Toyota 4Runner) was stolen back in June of this year and was recovered a few days later. I’m looking for HAT and device recommendations as well as good articles I can read to point me in the right direction.Ī little back story on this idea. TL DR: I want to build a device that sends GPS location data to my Traccar server, provides a Wi-Fi hotspot, acts as a car alarm, and provides a media center. Hello Everyone, I am looking to start a project for my car and I'm looking for some advice on what Pi accessories and peripherals to use.
