ESP32-CAM as doorbell with camera Topic is solved

[gielie]

motion detection is an addition to this doorbell.
This goes via motioneye and it gives a telegram message with a screenshot when there is movement.

Can you share this code?
Im using the V1 and it works great but id like to try this motion detection addition also.

When i read his story, i think he means it would be an addition for the doorbell. Reading that, i think he is using version V1 an motioneye for motion. Not motion by the doorbell itself.

Exactly 1 month ago i posted, that the V2 version was on a hold.
After that i got unexpected help from someone. Don't know yet if that person is happy if i mention his name her, will wait for that.

But his help is very very very big.
Without him, this was not possible.

Where are we now?
There is a version, but not ready to release.
This version is at in test. I have runned it last weekend without issues, but a little fine tuning is done and want to test it more.

A sneak preview, from the testing/fine-tuning moment

That looks good. Thanks for your time.

I recently added flash leds to the doorbell.
By creating 2 capture urls, i now can take a picture with or without the flash enabled.

The leds are only activated while the picture is taken.

I made a short video on how it works:

do you use the flashlight for extra light?
If so, what is the quality of the photo?

Yes, the flash is used to provide light.
I think the video introduces some confusion because the flash is triggered at daylight.
The flash is triggered only for the video purposes.
Normally it is only used when outdoor luminescence is below 10 lux. (the light intensity is measured somewhere else)

At daylight the picture is acceptable, at night not. With the flash, it gets a bit better, meaning, it is possible to recognize the person in the picture at short distance (<2m)

The daylight picture is taken by calling the usual url: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/capture
The picture with flash is taken by calling a new url: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/captureflash

Do you have any update with this project?

[hoeby]

The test esp is still running without problems.
The work that needs to be done is the wiki page and a readme file with the manual how to setup everything.

Want to finish it quickly, but finding time to finish it is the biggest problem.

Another sneak preview of the ESP Doorbell v2.
Need to do some administration and need to open an account on github, so it could be shared with everybody that wants to use it.

This is the index.htm page of the ESP Doorbell
You see a live log and the main network settings


For setting up the ESP Doorbell, no settings have to be changed in the program files, like the first version needed.
All could be done in the browser.

Looks great, really looking forward to it.

If you upload to github someone else might have some ideas or help they can push

Without him this all wouldn't be possible.

I has been an learning experience for me (too), but great fun thus far.
Hope we can complete the v2 initial release somewhere in the coming weeks ( no pressure ) so others can start playing with it too, but everybody needs to understand this is done in spare time, so it will be ready when we feel we are ready.

It currently is a private GitHub project shared between @hoeby and myself, which we used for basic development.
When we're done, I believe it is the intention that @hoeby will setup a new github project with the appropriate master & development branches so people can use the project and also allow for others to make PR's for improvement/changes to the development branch for testing before implementing those into the master branch.

Nice project. Looking forward to the GitHub project. Any ETA yet?
Could you already give a material specification?
I saw the the pushbutton hole is 18.5 mm in the Thingiverse project. Is that correct?

[azonneveld]

Could you already give a material specification?

Here is a list of hardware I used. The camera is running without any issues. Also, very well waterproof.
See: viewtopic.php?p=246700#p246700

[EddyG]

Tnx. I have a 3-D printer myself. The Thingiverse design is very thight, so I wonder what switch should be used in that design, because the hole is 18.5 mm.

WoW this great just ordered the materials.
I hope you will open up the github soon.
And put a donate button on it

Is it a idea to fundrais housing ?

I am very happy with my current esp32cam doorbell, just not satisfied with dark recordings.
Is there an esp32 cam with night vision?
