The KennelCam is a Raspberry Pi powered articulating camera that is controlled via the internet. The user can rotate the angle of the camera both vertically and horizontally while they watch a live web stream. Works with any browser compatible with MJPEG, like Google Chrome and Safari, and even works on smart phones! • KennelCam Technical Info: • • Uses Model B Raspberry Pi with standard Raspbian Wheezy Image • • Step Your Pi board (includes one Stepper) http://www.mypishop.com/ and an additional Stepper from Adafruit http://www.adafruit.com/products/858 • • Logitech c210 Webcam (removed from case to easily mount to tripod) • • Miniature USB WiFi from Adafruit found here: http://www.adafruit.com/product/814 • • Powered USB Hub - not shown in video, but needed if I am too far away from my wireless access point, also works great if plugged into ethernet! • • Custom machined Clear 3/16 thick plastic sheet to make the Tripod Assembly. Will manufacture kits if there is interest. Will also provide copies of all code used for this setup. • • Custom Python Code that actuates the steppers (mostly based on https://bitbucket.org/fdion/pi-a-sket...) and handles variables to and from Http based on Make: Projects Getting Started with Raspberry Pi by Matt Richardson Shawn Wallace , pages 133 - 143. Book can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Started... • • MJPEG Streamer setup based on: http://www.tanzilli.com/video_streaming. CORRECTION: I use MOTION to setup the stream. Followed video here: • Raspberry Pi as a Webcam Server starting around 5:30. • • Thanks to danjperron on http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/vie..., I no longer have to reboot the webstream every 2 mins to clear problems with the USB interface the camera uses. • • I use Putty to run the system headless so it's easy to move around.
