## Components
|
|
|
|
### `/server` - Edge Device (Raspberry Pi)
|
|
Camera snapshot server with optional audio capture.
|
|
- FastAPI + HTTPS + API key auth
|
|
- USB camera support
|
|
- Auto-reconnect on failure
|
|
- Systemd service
|
|
|
|
**Setup:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd server
|
|
./setup.sh # Video only
|
|
./setup.sh --with-audio # Video + audio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `/mcp` - MCP Client (Mac mini)
|
|
Model Context Protocol server for Claude Desktop.
|
|
- `vision_get_cams()` - List cameras with status
|
|
- `vision_snap(cam_id)` - Get snapshot
|
|
- Supports HTTP and RTSP cameras
|
|
|
|
### `/analysis` - Detection & Classification
|
|
Computer vision and audio analysis modules.
|
|
- Motion detection (frame differencing)
|
|
- Audio classification (YAMNet)
|
|
- Voice activity detection
|
|
|
|
### `/shared` - Common Utilities
|
|
Shared schemas and interfaces.
|
|
- Event definitions
|
|
- Queue interface
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### 1. Set up a camera server (on Pi)
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone http://gateway.local:3001/vixy/vixy-vision.git
|
|
cd vixy-vision/server
|
|
./setup.sh
|
|
sudo systemctl start vixy-vision
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Configure MCP client (on Mac mini)
|
|
Create `~/.vision_setup.json`:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"cameras": [
|
|
{
|
|
"id": "basement",
|
|
"type": "http",
|
|
"url": "https://192.168.1.100:8443",
|
|
"api_key": "your-api-key-here"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Add to Claude Desktop config
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"vision": {
|
|
"command": "python3.11",
|
|
"args": ["/path/to/vixy-vision/mcp/vision_mcp.py"]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
