This be motion detection and such for RPi

Prerequisites:

opencv4nodejs will auto-build OpenCV upon npm install, see opencv4nodejs docs for more info

  • MacOS: 
    brew install cmake
  • RPi: 
    sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev gfortran
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig/
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig/

Requirements for running:

  • Set env var SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, this should start with xoxb-...

Staging:

  • Set env var NODE_ENV=production for production mode. This only affects logging atm.

TODO:

  • Update opencv4nodejs functions to Async versions (e.g. bgrToGrayAsync())
  • Find best suitable video format (fourcc's FMP4 is being used for now, this does not work with RPi and Slack browser client)
  • Set appropriate format for camera recordings (atm it's default(?) - depends on device)
  • Check this out for possible improvements for picam settings
  • Error handling! Use arp-scan for scanning for devices in wifi?: 
    brew install arp-scan
    or 
    sudo apt-get install arp-scan
