About Meda-Camera
"Meda-Camera" is a streaming service that allows you to observe the Medaka (Japanese killifish) kept at home by Akkie (@Akkiesoft). It is primarily operated with the aim of utilizing Raspberry Pi.
I also use it for remote observation when I'm out and to check the results of a separately prepared feeding device.
Currently, you can see three videos: an indoor aquarium, an indoor pot, and a balcony aquarium.
How it works
The video is shot using a camera module connected to a computer called a Raspberry Pi and streamed as a motion JPEG.
The indoor camera uses Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, which handles two cameras at the same time.
The outdoor camera uses a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ installed indoors. Since a long cable is required, an HDMI cable is used, and it is routed through the air conditioner duct. For connection to the camera, a module that converts the HDMI cable to a CSI cable is combined.
Water temperature is measured both indoors and outdoors by connecting one water temperature sensor to the Raspberry Pi. For wiring, LAN cables are used in the same way as HDMI. I am using an RJ-45 breakout to connect the sensor.
Each Raspberry Pi connects to a web server installed at home using a reverse proxy and performs distribution.
