+Security solution for my storage locker.  Deployed to a raspberry pi with an attached camera.
+
+### Technology Stack
+
+* Raspberry Pi 4 w/ camera
+* GoCV
+* Syncthing
+
+The raspberry pi is configured as a WLAN AP which my phone will connect to.  My phone will also be running syncthing and have the RPI configured as a sync device.  The phone will pull logs and videos taken from the RPI which have been saved to the sync folder each time my phone connects.  
+
+The same folder on my phone is also a syncthing destination with spud, so when I come back upstairs, it uploads it to my server.  
+
+This isn't a foolproof method in case the intruder locates the RPI / camera and disables / destroys it / removes it.  The data is still stored on the RPI until the next time I'm within proximity.  This is an acceptable risk given the constraints, however if a better method is discovered to immediately store the data outside of the storage unit that would be preferred (something low powered sitting in my vehicle? )
+
+### Raspberry Pi Setup
+
+Full steps to re-build this system are below.
+
+##### Prerequisites 
+
+1. Connect the camera
+2. Image the SDcard with Raspberry Pi OS Lite (minimal image based on debian) - make sure to pick lite - do not use the desktop version. 
+
+##### Boot optimizations
+
+Edit /boot/config.txt
+
+```conf
+# Disable the rainbow splash screen
+disable_splash=1
+
+# Disable bluetooth
+dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
+ 
+# Set the bootloader delay to 0 seconds. The default is 1s if not specified.
+boot_delay=0
+```
+
+Edit /boot/cmdline.txt to make kernel quiet.  The following is an example, the key part is the quiet flag
+
+```conf
+dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=32e07f87-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes quiet rootwait
+```
+
+Disable dhcpcd - useless service in this case
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service
+```
