Raspberry PI 3B+ are now discontinued and essentially hard to purchase / locate- Recommend purchasing PI 4- 4gb model for this project.

This is not a plug and play device, you will need to have some basic knowledge with Raspberry Pi and configuration + minor coding. Some tutorials referenced below to assist.
