Raspberry pi as media center

October 11, 2019 by Kalitut Leave a Comment

One of the most non-technical applications of the Raspberry Pi minicomputer is its use as a media server for playing music, video and streaming broadcasts of all types of multimedia.

Media servers typically combine media files from all your favorite sources, including local disks, Internet-based music platforms such as Spotify, and streaming video platforms such as YouTube, giving the user one-stop access to all their favorite songs, movies, and shows.

in this Raspberry pi gpio tutorial we will experiment with LED and button.
Let’s get acquainted with the general-purpose input/output (GPIO) ports in the Raspberry Pi, take a simple example of connecting the LED and the button (switch) to the GPIO ports, and write a simple Python program that will control the LED’s light (blinking) when help buttons.

The Raspberry Pi Zero W is the second model of a miniature single-board computer from the Raspberry Pi line.

The first model was the “regular” Zero, a tiny $ 5 computer with modest specs and no wireless modules. Given the fact that in the pursuit of miniaturization, the creators left only one microUSB OTG port, the model looked rather strange. It seems to be compact, but in order to use it more or less normally, it is necessary to weigh adapters for connecting the network adapter and keyboard, which automatically negates all the advantages of miniaturization.

Raspberry Pi Camera Board V2 Review

The Raspberry Pi Camera Board is the official camera module for the Raspberry Pi microcomputer line.

Rather, there are two such modules: Raspberry Pi Camera Board V2 and Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Board V2, which differs from the usual version by a cut-out IR filter, due to which the picture from such a camera looks somewhat phantasmagoric during the day, but it is clearer and more legible in conditions of insufficient lighting.

This article will talk about how to assemble a low-cost IP camera based on the Raspberry Pi Zero W and the original camera module.
raspberry pi zero w security camera In principle, it was for this purpose that I originally planned to use the “mini-raspberry”. But the impressions of her work in this role were mixed.

I must say that such a device fulfills its cost. But a miracle did not happen and it did not work to get an analogue of an industrially produced IP camera for less money.

Well, read more about everything further in the article.

What do we need
To implement the steps described in this article, you will need:

Raspberry Pi Zero W + case + CSI cable
Raspberry Pi Camera Board V2 or Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Board V2
The local network

Optionally, you may need a separate device for the DVR. It will be needed if there is a need to use 2 or more CCTV cameras in one complex.
Almost any computer running Linux or even Windows can be used as a DVR.
