- main_release.py (v3.1.0): Release camera after each snapshot for V4L2 compatibility
- main_cycling.py (v3.2.0): Single motion thread cycles between cameras (1s interval)
- mcp/vision_mcp.py: Support custom snapshot_path for multi-camera servers
Fixes Pi 3 dual-camera V4L2 conflicts by not holding cameras open.
🗄️ New collector/ component:
- collector.py: FastAPI service receiving events from cameras
- SQLite database for event storage
- Snapshot images saved to disk by date
- launchd setup script for macOS
🔍 New MCP tools in vision_mcp.py:
- vision_get_events(): Query events with filters
- vision_get_event_snapshot(): View event image inline
- vision_annotate_event(): Add meaning + tags to events
- vision_event_stats(): Database statistics
📡 Complete flow:
Pi detects motion → POST to collector → stored in DB
Vixy queries events → views snapshots → annotates
