Hi all,
I am new to this topic.
I have a remote flask webserver connected to a raspberry pi that communicates via mqtt. I would like to incorporate sending time lapse (every day or week) to the app to be seen by me the user. I am wondering how I would go about doing this. So far I am thinking of sending a bunch of jpegs files via mqtt but I dont know if this is viable. Or even sending one whole file via mqtt that contains the time lapse.
In terms of live stream. How would I do this without completely undermining security of the pi? I have read in some places I would need to create a webserver on the pi and create a socket to my remote Flask app which I am confused by. If this is a reasonable solution could someone give me any pointers? I dont need high latency, It is just filming a plant. I want to see it grow and be able to view it occasionally.
If this can be done using mqtt that would be great
