Security photos from Raspberry Pi Camera
Purpose of this project:
- The primary purpose of this project is to showcase my software engineering skills, not to provide a full-featured product, so I may choose to provide multiple ways of doing things (like web applications using multiple technologies) and not develop features within the product that do not further this goal. In particular, I am getting up to speed on modern web technology, REST APIs, etc.
- Provide security photos to find out what my kids were doing at 2am. The main idea is that cameras pointed at my doors and windows capture activity which I can review the next day.
See more refined documentation in the "docs" directory.
