CSE Vision – Part 2 (deployment and webcam feed)

Aloha,

Part 2 is now complete 🙂

Took a while due to nobody being here… Who needs holidays anyway? I mean really now. 😛

The website has been deployed to a local web server meaning that everyone can now access it from anywhere on any device:

Lecturers all have access to their accounts and are able to update their availability in real time:

The PC in the lobby now starts up automatically after power failures and starts Chrome in full screen mode with the web page displayed.

Also, I have just installed a webcam and set up a live feed of the lobby. Useful for the secretary and for staff wanting to see who is waiting to see them. Have a peek below (it does not seem to update on Internet Explorer though – why would you be using IE anyway???):

EDIT(2016):

Removed this firstly due to eyspyfx no longer existing and secondly due to privacy issues. The webcam feed is now only available on the local network and running at a much better frame rate.

 

When we get a USB extension cable we’ll move the camera to the corner of the room.

Up next:

Testing out the magnetic switches that will be attached to the doors. Yes they have arrived 🙂 :

I would also like to make my own web feed instead of using eyespyfx (will get a much better frame rate locally if I do that) but we’ll see if I get time for that.
