ChickenPi
Because everyone likes a Chicken Pi
Version 1.0 of my chickenPi is simply having the camera module in a case and overlooking the garden to watch the chickens. It takes an image once a minute and displays it on a webpage.
And no, I'm sorry but I'm not allowing people to look at the camera images live. However, here are a couple of typical images.
ChickenPi 2.0 - coming soon
The aim for the second version of this is to have it mounted inside the chicken coop. The issues that I need to overcome are internet connection and power supply. Power could probably be easily solved using a solar panel and a battery. Internet connection is probably the most difficult as the house has stone walls and the signal isn't strong enough to reach the bottom of the garden.
Things to do:
- Waterproof housing for RPi and camera
- Solar Panel + battery power (to last all night)
- Internet connection
- Streaming video
- Night Vision
