This project allows a user to use a webcam and RaspberryPi along with an Android app to setup a security camera system. Additionally, a PC client allows users to retrieve single or multiple frames from the webcam.
The project contains
- A django server that is run on a Raspi
- An android app which connects to the server on the Raspi
- A django server which can be run on a client machine to query the Raspi server. This has been only tested on Windows.
Run the server on the Raspi from the home_server directory with
$python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Run the server on Windows from the home_server directory with
$python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Install the Android app via Android studio, and configure the Raspi's IP in the app through the app's settings.
Access the Windows server via browser with
http://my_ip:8000/w/
for a single frame, or
http://my_ip:8000/w/zip/
for a zip folder containing the last 20 seconds (20 frames)
The most significant requirement is that OpenCV for python must be built on the Raspi. This can take a few hours.
Other pip packages must be installed including: pycryptodome, django, venv, zipfile
Pip requirements: pycryptodome, venv, zipfile, opencv-python
