Open Vulpecula-nl opened 5 years ago

How do i adjust the brightness? My image is overexposed.

Nice work by the way.

I will turn this project into a doorbell

The camera should actually set the exposure automatically, once a new snapshot is taken or stream is started.

Weird, mine doesn’t adjust. I will install version0.0.7 tomorrow and check again.

My camera on a Raspberry Pi Zero W obviously does change the exposure when I start the device (i.e. I can reboot and see that the exposure changes). However, if I just keep a stream open for viewing (e.g. camera pointing at the garden during the day), as the light changes, the exposure doesn’t keep track.

Is there a way of periodically refreshing the exposure to align it to changing light conditions?

Having the same issues. Camera does not reset exposure on stream is re-started. A periodically evaluation of the exposure would be great!
