Description
pi-timolo is a python picamara module application for a Raspberry PI computer. A RPI camera module must be attached. It can take timelapse and motion detection images separately or together. Takes Long exposure Night (lowlight) images for Time Lapse and/or Motion. Has smooth twilight transitions based on a threshold light setting, so a real time clock is not required. Customization settings are saved in a config.py and conf files. The application is primarily designed for headless operation and includes sync.sh that can securely synchronize files with a users google drive. This works well for remote security cameras. Camera settings can also be administered remotely sync.sh
Menubox
The lastest version of pi-timolo has a whiptail admin menu system. The menu's allow
start/stop of pi-timolo.py and webserver.py as background tasks, as well as
editing configuration files, making timelapse videos from jpg images, converting or joining mp4 files Etc.
To run from ssh console or terminal session.
cd ~/pi-timolo
./menubox.sh
Webserver
I have also written a standalone LAN based webserver.py to allow easy access to pi-timolo image and video files
on the Raspberry from another LAN computer web browser. There is no setup required but the display
settings can be customized via variables in the config.py file or via menubox admin menuing.
To run from ssh console or terminal session.
cd ~/pi-timolo
./webserver.py
