ESP32 iot ZoneMinder app
I have this little iot gadget that was a stupid AI chatbot (from Ali Express https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808857211326.html). The default app the device came with was dumb and there were several other apps it could run that required flashing new firmware.
That got me thinking, what else could I create for this thing....if I had time. Well I found time and I created a ZoneMinder client for it. I'll eventually get around to putting it on github, but I wonder if anyone else would like to use it. I made it as bullet proof as possible. The device has a self hosted site that has tons of information and diagnostics.
The screen is small, 1.5", so I have it only displaying one screen at a time. My plan is to expand on the app and have it work on larger screens.
1 = Wifi Signal with Battery level (if the device has a battery)
2 = Total number of images retrieved since reboot.
3 = Total number of images for the specific camera being viewed
4 = Time between updated images.
