Hey. I’ve got a Rasberry Pi 3 and a Pi Camera 3 set up here, pointed at my front door. I installed the latest Ras Pi OS on the computer and I tested that with the built-in ‘raspi-vid’ app and it’s working now. I want to self-host something so I can access the live video from my phone to see who’s knocking on my door.
I don’t want to store the video, or do anything else fancy. Just be able to see the video, in a browser, from inside my local network.
I wonder if I could code this up pretty quickly myself, in fact but have no experience with this sort of thing. Is there an app to make this easy or something I could add to the PI to give it a webbish front-end?
Thanks for any ideas
I’ve heard of people using a shake sensor or a power monitoring outlet/switch which seems like it would take a lot less effort to integrate into automations (like showing a light when it is done somewhere).
