Help with the camera

ninjabreadman

Have a look at MMM-pages. Install it, and you can then send a PAGE_CHANGED notification either when you send the camera notifications (voicecontrol module) or when you receive and process them (camera module). That should page between the camera and everything else.

Thank you very much! That’s great.
Do you know by any chance if it’s possible to have the camera image 90 degree rotated and on full screen? I want to use the camera as the mirror instead of applying a glass or a film.

@xela What modules are you using? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

xela

Sorry… the modules I’m using are:
Alert
updatenotification
helloworld
clock
calendar
MMM-WunderGround
MMM-Traffic
MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic
MMM-ImageSlideshow
voicecontrol
camera
compliments
newsfeed
MMM-Remote-Control

I also intend to use MMM-buttons so when I press a button it will start the image slideshow of artistic pictures (so it will act as a wall art).

thank you for your help!

@xela It’s not supported natively by webcamjs. See this issue posted here. You can try CSS transforms, but it may be too processor intensive for the RPi.

@xela Regarding rotating the camera, you can physically rotate the camera. If you’re directly connecting it to the RPi, consider using a flex cable instead.

I am getting the following error:
Webcam.js Error: Could not access webcam: NotSupportedError: Only secure origins are allowed (see: https://goo.gl/Y0ZkNV). NotSupportedError: Only secure origins are allowed (see: https://goo.gl/Y0ZkNV).

Do you know by any chance what it means?

@xela Read through this issue on GitHub. Given you were trying to make the webcam full screen, is it related?
