pi-camera

mqtt device for webcam and django-automation

Installation

Clone or download the code from https://github.com/deunix-educ/pi-camera

    git clone git@github.com:deunix-educ/pi-camera.git
    or
    tar xzfv pi-camera-main.zip
    mv pi-camera-main pi-camera 
    cd pi-camera

• In etc directory we find:

  • bin: some utilities
  • conf: example configuration for a pi
  • install: example system installation for a pi

• Install the following packages:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt -y install build-essential git supervisor
    sudo apt -y python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv
    sudo cp /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf.old
    sudo cat >> /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf << EOF
    [inet_http_server]
    port=*:9001
    username=root
    password=toor
    EOF
  

• Change the rights of the following files

    chmod +x picamera/*.py
    chmod +x etc/bin/*.sh
  

• Install the python virtual environment (in .venv)

    etc/bin/venv-install etc/install/requirements.txt
  

• Finally install the service supervisor configuration file

    sudo cp etc/conf/camera_service.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/
    sudo supervisorctl reread && sudo supervisorctl update
  

How it works

    cd camera

• Modify and copy config_example.yaml and mqtt_example.yaml

    cp config_example.yaml config.yaml
    cp mqtt_example.yaml mqtt.yaml
    ./webcamd.py
    or
    ./audiocamd.py
