Building on my previous IoT presentation I thought that I would follow up with two additional project which were in a similar vein.
These project both relate to IoT but focus more around the subject of streaming data rather than poling a sensor for a value.
Raspberry Pi-based IP camera I built this device as the result of finding the existing market of IP cameras to be lacklustre at best. The more options which provided the feature I was looking for were too expensive, and the ones in a more reasonable price range had terrible image quality and next to no feature. The topic of this presentation will be focused on exploring the world of the “Internet of Things”.
Background But before we can begin to explore the topic we need to understand what the Internet of Things is really about. While definitions for the term and the subject area vary depending on who you talk to, I think the Internet of Things can be summarised as: “a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data”, or “the infrastructure of the information society”, or “creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit”.
