Open source ESP32-Camera for Yolov4/5/6

Description

We have some yolov models that need to be put on local PC computer for watching and doing things. We looked at a lot of cameras, but they didn't work for us because they couldn't do some important things we needed. We made something called Sentry, which is free for anyone to use. It lets you do things like find cameras on your computer network, and connect to other devices like sensors or motor. It's also easy to set up and use. We've used Sentry to do some cool things, like detecting when a 3D printer messes up, or finding if there's a fire. We've even used it to count the number of goats and identify birds in a yard!

Details

We have many yolov models that need to be deployed locally on the PC for monitoring and performing some actions. We compared many IP cameras on the market and found that they could not meet our following needs:

1. Realize camera IP scanning in the LAN, and the device will automatically connect
2. The camera can communicate with other hardware, with serial port and IO control
3. Easy to install and DIY

So we developed Sentry and made all its firmware open source. It has the following characteristics:
1. Design a set of very convenient WebAPI, which includes functions such as reporting your own IP in the LAN
2. Contains an IO port and a serial port for communicating with other hardware
3. Designed with a standard 1/4-inch port for easy fixing

With Sentry, we have deployed and implemented many interesting applications on PCs including:
- FDM 3D printer printing failure detection
- fire detection
- mouse detection
- detect the number of goats
- detect and identify birds in the yard

As follows, some applications implemented by Sentry: DEMO:
