Simple Leprechaun Detector.... And then how to make it more advanced
Okay, maybe just detect anyone or anything moving. Let's say a Leprechaun if you have a kid that builds a Leprechaun trap.
The easy one is to use a USB web camera, Raspberry Pi and Motion software.
The second version we will add Apache NiFi - MiNiFi which will read the images and send them on.
Github: https://github.com/tspannhw/leprechaun-detector/tree/master
This will send you an image when one is detected.
Install the Motion Detector
Edit the Configuration
Some needed configuration
Store your images somewhere MiNiFi can grab them
Start the Motion Detector
