Raspberry Pi - Meeting the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface

If you are not familiar with Raspberry PI please go ahead and see this website, I’m not going to be talking about what is and what it can do rather I want to go further and focus on just the Raspberry PI + camera.

RPi-Cam-Web-Interface is a simple interface that enables the users to interact with the camera module on the Raspberry PI, it has a lot of documentation and the code is really easy to understand if you’re a programmer.

The interface is very easy to use and it has a lot of features such as resolution adjustment, control of brightness, saturation and contrast.

I think the main feature of the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface is web-based. Easy to use easy to share across multiple devices and easy to modify as well.

Behind the scenes, how does it work?

The web interface was written in PHP and it interacts with Linux on the Raspberry. Time by time the script takes a picture and saves it in a directory (you can easily change the default folder where it is saved) and then refreshes the page with the new picture through the javascript.

Would you like to try it?

You can find the official tutorial on the Raspberry website and loads more on Google.
