After having missed the deadline for the nesting season in 2020, I did manage to finish it this time. I got my inspiration about several online tutorials, but in the end, streaming was no option.
I am using a Raspberry Pi Zero and due to our HR++ glazing WiFi reception is iffy at best. Due to this I decided to simply take a picture every 5 minutes, store that locally and upload it to here.
| Part list | |
| Raspberry PI Zero | Mini computer that runs it all. |
| Raspberry PI Noir Camera | Camera module without IR filter. |
| LISIPAROI Infrarood LED ring | These IR leds provide light for the pictures. |
| SHTC3 sensor | Sensor for temperature/humidity (inside). |
| DHT22 sensor | Sensor for temperature/humidity (outside). |
| IP65 junctionbox | Somewhat weatherproof enclosure. |
| USB extension cord | 10 meter USB extension cord to get 5V where I need it… |
| Misc | Cables and duct-tape! |
All of this runs on a lite version of RaspiOS with a python script that takes a picture every 5 minutes and uploads. If below image isn’t update, please do a page refresh. If it still doesn’t update, something crashed 😉
Some pictures of the build itself.
