- PIR and Pi Camera Circuit taking pictures when detecting motion
Hello,
I am using a Raspberry Pi with a PIR motion sensor and a Pi Camera. The idea is that the camera should take a picture every time the PIR sensor detects motion. The system works but it does not respond, i.e. take a picture, as fast as I would like if I wave my hand in front of the PIR sensor...
Any idea why? Ideally, I could just wait a second, wave my hand in front of the sensor, and have the camera take a pic. But it does not happen? Any idea?
Should I use a distance sensor instead?
Thanks!
