Using Raspberry Pi to control camera for long-term timelapse

Hello, I'm an experienced Python developer and Linux user. I have built many projects on the Pi including communicating with a DSLR camera through gphoto2. I've done the reading and uploading photos from the camera part for a previous project. In order to change the settings via Internet and connect to the Pi remotely it either needs to have a public IP address or be part of a VPN. Would a Python solution be OK for you? You also mentioned Wifi in the description but there is none in the system photo. Best wishes, iticus

Hi, I hope you are doing well. I have read your project details. I have similar project experience. I can execute this project in less possible time. Looking Forward, Khawaja

Hi, I am Shiv having an extensive experience in development from last 12 years. I am interested in your project & would like to discuss about this. Please suggest me time for discussion,. Note : Quote will be share after discussion of each module. Looking forward to your response. Best Regards, Jyoti S.

I want to discuss this project with you further, let me know the best suitable time for you to schedule the meeting, Feel free to message me at any time, i used to be online 14 hrs in a day on this website so probably you will get a quick response from my end. Chat conversation end

I have a good background in embedded solution with our MFP printer devices and also very much familiar and well equip with raspbery pi. Let me know the best of your time so we can discuss and move forward to the next level.

I'm a software developer. I'm addicted to the photography and to the raspberry/arduino. I've got both, so I can start now. I am very interested in your project, I feel enthusiast like it was mine. I have a bachelor degree in computer science and 5 years of hands-on experience in software design and developing.

A proposal has not yet been provided

Previously i have worked with Raspberry pi 2 on personal projects for remote surveillance camera using motion and also for video recording after boot for urban trafic. Actually I'm working on a personal project for license plate detection using Neural networks on raspberry-Pi.

Hi, I am Jawad and I represent a team of professional engineers with combined experience of 15+ years of safety-critical embedded solution development. I believe I have assessed the project specs in detail and I understand your requirements. Outlined here is our road map to execute your project as per your description order: 1. RPi <-> Cam interfacing via USB and gphoto2 (I just checked that RPi and BeagleBone come packed with libgphoto2) 2. The basic DSLR settings (shutter, ISO, AV etc) and trigger would be handled by Gphoto2 commands which in turn could be accommodated in Bash/Perl/Python script or C++ app. 3. Reading JPEGs periodically and content comparison on SDCards would be both be done by above script/app using gphoto2 and Linux API. 4. Uploading to the server over Wifi/GSM could be done with MQTT (recommended) which also provides the provision to not only uploading to server but also real time sharing with other particular users. 5. Ack/Nack based reliable uploading (included in MQTT already) 6. Many options exist for online control of Cam but MQTT is recommended again. 7. 6 months? Kids stuff ;) It is a normal timeline for self-sustaining systems. Also plz remember that RPi is not commercial/industrial grade SBC so we might have to opt for another one if your controller is commercial. I have just outlined your requirements with our feedback and left many recommendations due to shortage of space. Please contact for details. We are new here and raring to go!
