A video of the operations of this IoT BabyCam which includes a code walkthrough , and a live demo of the product with how it was put together can be found on youtube by following this link : https://youtu.be/o-bwmK9FOGI

Instructions:

To use the BabyCam , you will need to run the mjpg-streamer first , by going into the BabyCam/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental folder and running the following commands :

1. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. then
2. ./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so"

This will stream the video on your local network at{raspberrypiIPaddress}:8080/?action=stream

In a separate terminal window run the babycam.py script in python3. This would load the sensor data. Open the blynk app and open the device corresponding to the device key you put in the babycam.py script under blynk_auth
