A Camera is used to record visual images in the form of photographs, film, or video signals. Here, we are also going to do the same by interfacing the camera with the Raspberry Pi.

Particle Cloud is the world's most popular IoT platform. Particle Cloud has everything for you to move quickly and succeed.

Raspberry pi is a small pocket sized computer having on-board GPIO pins to connect other peripherals and sensors. It has inbuilt Wi-Fi to connect with network and upload sensor data directly to any IoT cloud platform without using any external components.

Earlier we have controlled led with Adafruit IO using Raspberry Pi.

Previously we have learned to control GPIO of Raspberry pi using two IoT platforms: IFTTT and

Blynk app is an easy to use Android and IOS based application, helps in controlling Arduino, Raspberry Pi and others for the purpose of IoT.

IFTTT (If This Then That) is a free IoT service that allows you to send a trigger from one device, and allow that trigger to make something happen elsewhere.

Blynk is an IoT Platform to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU and other microcontrollers over the Internet.

In previous tutorials we learned about installing operating system in Raspberry Pi, now lets move ahead to the first step in building any IoT project using Raspberry Pi, that is to upload the data to any cloud server using Raspberry Pi.
