Hello,
I have been searching the internet in the last few days to create pet camera / home security camera with a Pi Zero 2 and a Camera V3. I tried countless guides, used generative AI to ask how to solve this and so on.
I have yet to find a good solution.
Requirements:
-software muste be open source and free of charge
-no data must leave my control
-stream must be viewable in the network and from the internet with authentication
-must support i2c microphone
-IR Led over GPIO Pins
-start / stop recording, set path for video recording to another device ( a pi 5 or a full homeserver)
-should be controllable via some form of GUI or Webinterface
-motion detection is a plus but not really needed
To reduce the load on the pi zero I have tried to do this project with a headless setup.
I think going with mediamtx as a stream makes the most sense. Then the GUI could be done with flask as a webinterface. I tried this with the aid of chatGPT - i got the stream to work -...wow... i know... but not the ui.
Are there any at least half way finished solutions out there that work with the Pi Zero 2, the Cam V3 and Bookworm? I have not found any sadly.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english - its not my first language.
