[TriEmbed] Security Camera

[Ron Craig]

If there is a drop ceiling you install right above the register with a pinhole for the camera to see through. I used to help my brother in law install these in big name retail stores.

I don't want a big one, but it needs to be sharp enough to see if they take money and don't put it in the drawer.  I've looked at some Raspberry Pi solutions that would write to a small external HD, but the camera case was a big outside one. And, I'm also not sure if the Pi Camera is sharp enough.   We have a $250 budget.  It does not have to be a Pi, but it must be Linux-based, no MAC or Windows.  Any experience out there?
