Motion detection now optionally runs MobileNet V2 SSD (COCO, quantized)
on frames that trigger motion, identifying objects like people, cats, and
cars. Events without detected objects are suppressed by default. Snapshots
include bounding box annotations. New MCP tool vision_get_detections()
enables label-based queries.

- Remove main_cycling.py, main_multi.py, main_release.py (single main.py is canonical)
- Update setup.sh to read SERVICE_NAME and PORT from .env
- Update env.example with SERVICE_NAME and PORT for multi-instance support
- Fix server-csi to try rpicam-still before libcamera-still (Debian Trixie)
Deploy pattern: clone repo twice, configure each .env, run setup.sh
Each instance gets its own systemd service and install directory.
- 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.
- main_multi.py: Multi USB camera support with ID-based endpoints
- Config via CAMERAS env: '{"basement": 0, "basement2": 1}'
- Endpoints: /snapshot (default), /snapshot/{cam_id}
- server-csi/: New server for Pi CSI ribbon cameras (IR support)
- Auto-detects picamera2/picamera/libcamera-still
- IR_MODE and ROTATION settings
- Includes setup.sh for easy Pi deployment
