Film In The Past

thingiverse

My project is a cutting-edge camera system powered by a raspberry pi that's cleverly integrated into a hat. This innovative camera is always on, constantly filming everything in its field of view, but only capturing the last 7 seconds of video footage at a time. Let's take a real-world example - imagine you're walking down the street and you spot a meteorite blazing across the sky. You don't have time to fumble for your phone to film it, but with my system, all you need to do is press a button on the hat and the camera will instantly record the last 7 seconds of action. Once that's done, you can easily download the video from a user-friendly app on your smartphone. The code behind this system is expertly written in python and utilizes OpenCV for seamless functionality. The entire system runs smoothly thanks to an external battery with a massive 5000 mAh capacity. As an added bonus, the raspberry pi serves as a reliable wireless access point, making it easy to connect to from your phone. Thanks to the fantastic FTPManager app (available on the Apple App Store), you can conveniently connect to the raspberry pi from your phone and retrieve the recorded video with ease.
