I'm planning to run the same kind of project to realize a RPi trailcam and you used mostly all the elements I want to implement in my system : IRCam, IR cut-out filter and illumination (except I'd like to use -and find- a 940nm LEDS array). I'll probably use a battery system, IR motion sensor and wifi. Is it possible to ask you help when my project will be more advanced (especially regarding the IR filter) ? I didn't know about Pikrellcam software and it sounds really promising for my project.<br />Once again, really good job.<br />Really good job !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00757132892058410552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203640512649941007.post-4243917457873747712017-04-07T20:06:00.974+01:002017-04-07T20:06:00.974+01:00Raspi Cam works via Pikrellcam, with video saved d...Raspi Cam works via Pikrellcam, with video saved directly to a mapped network drive, so I'll never run out of space (well, will eventually, but have >500Gb free atm ;)<br />The mjpeg stream is created in software via the usb webcam using mjpg_streamer, and streams across the network. Cam 1 does not really stream, only when it's viewed, cam 2 (webcam) streams all the time. I have a RasPi model A running Pikrellcam that constantly fills up (64Gb micro-sd card), so I appreciate your problem. I dont know a lot about current loads for the IR cut, I couldn't find the eact same model from 'GenericChina.com', but it is powered vis the Pis 5V feed. The only other thing powered directly from the Pi is 2 IR leds that do the entrance counter, so hopefully I'll get away with it. Incidentally, the IR cut also works fine off the 12V feed. <br />Re the other nest site, unfortunately our blue tits have abandoned it for the more salubrious accommodation of my neighbour...<br />NestBoxTechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596961979586589583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203640512649941007.post-16255370558471959252017-04-07T11:40:47.707+01:002017-04-07T11:40:47.707+01:00Wow! very nice.

You have certainly packed a lot of tech into this one.<br /><br />As your Pi is POE, how do you stream the second camera back to base? Or is this just connected to a Pi USB socket?<br /><br />I couldn't find a proper spec on the IR cut unit, but it looks like it may draw quite a high current (maybe a couple of hundred mA). I guess thats not a problem as you are using POE.<br /><br />Due to a technical blunder, my Pergola box stopped working about a week ago. It would run motion for a couple of minutes, before the Picaxe switched off the power due to lack of feedback from the Pi. I could ping the Pi but not VNC or SSH into it.<br /><br />Once I took the SD card out it was clear that it was completely full, so Pi could not boot into desktop.<br /><br />Some idiot (...OK, ...it was me) forgot to clear out the video clips (which really needs to be done once a week) so my 16GB SD was soon full!<br /><br />The blue tit female has pretty much finish the nest, so I'm expecting her to start sleeping in the nest any time soon.SteveDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645378028590228663noreply@blogger.com
