 ====== Wifi Scanner ======
+**Goals:** Two goals for this project.  I wanted to detect who was in the flat at any given time (see my [[Dynamic photo frame]] project) and I also wanted to see if I could detect spikes of activity near by (like a protest walking past the building etc).
-Basic steps.  Identify your wifi device (in my case wlp3s0), the enter monitor mode, use tcpdump to capture mac addresses and a short php script to switch between available channels:
+==== Data ====
+    * [[Projects/Wifi/Scan 1]]: First preliminary results from a full week wifi scan of my local area (11th Sep 2019 to 19th Sep 2019)
+    * [[Projects/Wifi/Scan 2]]: Full two-month scan from 1st Nov 2019 to 6th Jan 2020.  Looking for general daily activity
+    * [[Projects/Wifi/Scan 3]] - COVID-19: Are people self isolating.  Wifi activity for March 2020
+==== Setting up the hardware ====
+I have a dedicated mini PC for this.  It's sitting on the window ledge of my living room with a PCI-e 5G wifi card and multiple external antennas.
+**Basic steps:** Identify your wifi device (in my case wlp3s0), the enter monitor mode, use tcpdump to capture mac addresses and a short php script to switch between available channels:
 <code bash>
 sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down
