For right now all of that is a bit much for me to digest.
I have the still image scripts working correctly with RTSP streams; upload and all:
Kitchen
For some reason ffmpeg failed with a timeout error when encoding a time lapse video. Odd because the exact same code works fine daily on the Buster machines. But, Bookworm seems to be full of surprises. It will take some time to figure out what;'s going on.
I have yet to decided on what cameras to buy. My wife bought a handful of Tapo (TP-Link) camera a year ago to keep her eyes on the cat. They work well, seem reliable and produce decent images. They are cheap and readily available. I've been using them to test out the RTSP streams.
Once I get the video working I can thing about installing the Bookworm machine at the condo, but not very soon.
It's now dry season in Thailand which, for me, means lots of cycling at the condo; along the coast, up in the mountains, etc. We're only there four or five days a month so I try to squeeze in as much cycling as possible when the weather is cool and dry. Not much time for fiddling with Pies.Installing new cameras will take some time drilling holes and working out extension cords as they are not near outlets. (I ordered both of the USB cameras with extra long cables.) I can't see myself doing that until February or so when the heat and humidity set in.
As far as remote access goes, I have both Shell Hub and reverse SSH tunnels which seem to be sufficient for now.
As for Trixie? Not now. Bookworm pretty much broke me. I just don't want to go through that again.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
