The Raspberry Pi camera is a RPi + Raspberry Pi Camera module.

The second reason, is to monitor and record weather conditions for correlation with the bird count data. If this occurs, the sensors are recalibrated on a routine basis while rain is falling. First of all, the amount of precipitation might affect the sensors. The weather conditions are monitored for a couple of reasons. It also controls the timing interval for requesting data, and it also monitors the current weather conditions via DarkSky. It activates the monitor at Dawn and shuts it down at Dusk. It requests and stores data from the Bird Feeder Monitor, and it controls the operation of the monitor. If the MQTT Server publishes a " monitor/feeder/getcount" message, the Bird Feeder Monitor will respond with a " monitor/feeder/count" MQTT message which the server will store. This message notifies the Raspberry Pi Camera to take a photo. As soon as the touch is activated, the " monitor/feeder/picture" MQTT message is published by the Bird Feeder Monitor. Any birds lighting on the perches activate the touch sensor which starts a timer to determine the length of time each events last. The Bird Feeder is equipped with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and Capacitive Touch Sensor (CAP1188). This version uses multiple Raspberry Pi's, MQTT communications and local storage of data and photographs. The previous version of my Bird Feeder Monitor used an Arduino Yun, and stored the data in a spreadsheet on my Google Drive. This is a monitoring system designed to count, time, record and photograph the birds feeding at our bird feeder.
