Welcome to the First Edition of the set-up tutorial for the Time-lapse Camera

The current System consists of 3 systems.

The chain of events is as follows:

The Camera Takes a Timelapse of Photos during the day
The Camera compresses those photos into a small .mp4 video
The Camera then Uploads the .mp4 video to the Server
When the Server gets the uploaded video, it will stick it to the end of the current video
When the Server has completed that, the video will be viewable on the WebPage

Hopefully in the future there will be a Plug n' Play system where when we need another camera we can simply:

However that's not currently the Case

We assume that we have a working Pi that has just logged in for the first time

The Pi will first need the timelapse folder. It will be placed in /home/pi directory

This folder will contain the scripts to actually run the program and some testing scripts

Packages: ffmpeg, pysftp
