Hi! Will there also be support for an IR motion sensor?

bkeevil commented 3 years ago

Its a possibility. Not a lot of free memory on these devices so all additional features should be something users enable in firmware via make menuconfig.

I'd be interested in motion detection (no need for IR) with the following main loop:

sleep for 500ms
grab frame (& decimate down to reasonable pixel count)
compare to last frame
if large differences then fire up wifi, stream a few seconds worth at a server
shut down wifi (power save)
save last frame of burst for next sleep/compare cycle The idea for this is low average power to run from a single 18650 Lion cell + solar panel (0.5 to 1w panel)

You could check out https://github.com/alanesq/CameraWifiMotion Maybe this has some of the features you are looking for.. I think it is not optimized for power save though..
