I am using Motion [0] since years. At least for basic stuff, is easy to configure and very flexible. For more advanced configuration, it required a bit of tuning. [0] https://motion-project.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
We mounted the webcam on the coffee machine and installed Motion on the Raspberry Pi. It gave us a simple web interface that streamed frames from the camera โ perfect for keeping an eye on the machineโs display. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
I appreciate this and will look into it eventually. Years ago, I used Motion[0] on a pi, laptop and desktop, configured to sftp the motion-activated images to a remote server. I could check the files upon alert and view them in rapid succession as 'video'. It was a clunky setup but worked, aside from the vulnerability of the computers being physically accessible to unwanted visitors - but for this I'd use nohup &... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I think the simplest way is to set up Motion in the Odroids, and set up a Zoneminder server to manage the streams, record to disk, provide a web interface, etc. Source: almost 3 years ago
If you're comfortable fiddling with Linux on a Raspberry Pi, you can pretty easily set this up with a ribbon cam and software like Motion. Motion has a lot more options and features than you may need, but it's easy to set up as a barebones LAN-accessible IP camera. Source: about 3 years ago

Simplescraper rode the no-code wave of a few years back ('instant structured data without parsing html'). Now working on increasing the surface area for AI agents: MCP support, screenshots API, and (experimentally) x402^ ^ https://simplescraper.io/blog/x402-payment-protocol/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
1. Clicking the box programmatically โ possible but inconsistent 2. Outsourcing the task to one of the many CAPTCHA-solving services (2Captcha etc) โ better 3. Using a pool of reliable IP addresses so you don't encounter checkboxes or turnstiles โ best I run a web scraping startup (https://simplescraper.io) and this is usually the approach. It has become more difficult, and I think a lot of the AI crawlers are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Making my data extraction Saas (https://simplescraper.io) more LLM friendly. Markdown extraction, improved Google search, workflows - search for this terms, visit the first N links, summarize etc. Big demand for (or rather, expectation of) this lately. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Things are much easier for one-person startups these daysโit's a gift. I remember building a todo app as my first SaaS project, and choosing something called Stormpath for authentication. It subsequently shut down, forcing me to do a last-minute migration from a hostel in Japan using Nitrous Cloud IDE (which also shut down). Just pain upon pain.[1] Now, you can just pick a full-stack cloud service and run with it.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
