README
README.mdOTCamera
OTCamera is a core module of the OpenTrafficCam framework to record videos over multiple days with a custom camera system based on Raspberry Pi Zero W. In the recorded videos, one can detect and track objects (road users) using OTVision or other tools and on the resulting trajectories, one can perform traffic analysis using OTAnalytics.
Check out the documentation for detailed instructions on how to use OTCamera.
We appreciate your support in the form of both code and comments. First, please have a look at the contribute section of the OpenTrafficCam documentation.

Questions
What parts does the OTCamera use?
19 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the OTCamera KiCad files?
From the OpenTrafficCam/OTCamera repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware_parts/PrintedCircuitBoard/OTCamera/OTCamera.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the OTCamera design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
