FedCam

Federated Cameras

This is a rough outline of the moving pieces of fedcam.

camera hosts

Our set up has four camera hosts, two in each cabinet. (front and back).

  • Telehouse: ken (front) and negri (back)
  • XO: luisa and ottorene

The files on each host server lives in /srv/motion/cam0/

These machines are running the motion daemon, and the main config file is /etc/motion/motion.conf.

Each of these machines will need a series of files put in place, and specified in the motion configs.

All of this needs to be put into...

Puppet

There needs to be a puppet module, or modules.

One set of configs for the camera hosts, and another set of configs for the remote host (in this case jojobe).

The camera hosts need:

  • event start script
  • frame write script
  • event end script
  • etc conf.

The web host needs:

  • the web app files
  • sqlite3 installed, and blank db created
  • cron job to delete data tagged for deletion.

Other Tasks that need completeing

jojobe

Mod Auth openid needs to be enabled on jojobe, and the fedcam software needs to be updated to use that in the .htaccess.

set up the sqlite3 db on the jojobe

build file structure:

  files/telehouse/front
  files/telehouse/back
  files/XO/front
  files/XO/back

Remember the dir names get read as meaningful values by the web app, so name em right.

fedcam software

Update to work with OpenID auth

on the individual camera hosts

Add the config file to /etc/fedcamrc

create the ~/.ssh/masters file for the motion user.

Add the push-frame script Add the event end script

Add the motion cleanup script
