This project controls a lamp inside my room, as well as 1 LED and a screen that allow you to write short text (in English). The circuit is connected to a static HTML website.

Inspiration, "Erez's Camera"

Several years ago, I came across a project called "Erez's Camera". The project provided control to turn on and off two lamps in a room through a website. From what I researched, the project used an LPT connection and the website displayed either a JAVA or FLASH application for streaming.
I visited this project from time to time and enjoyed turning the lamps on and off in the room (there was even a message once asking me to turn off the lamps because it was noon and he wanted to sleep 😊.

Installation, all the physical equipment

In practice, the project was divided into 2 projects

• Working with (COM) SERIAL PORT (as old school used to work).
• Working with IOT (which stands for Internet Of Things, an apparatus to follow).

The hardware used in this project

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

The following cameras were purchased for actual documentation, real-time streaming

• Logitech C922 PRO HD
  The project was implemented initially with this camera.
• Logitech Brio 4K
  Purchased for my personal use, if the project received a good camera, then I also deserve one
• Ezviz C3N
  Today, the project is implemented with an IP camera that initially started with a network connection (via Ethernet). Today, it is connected with WIFI. It is a very good camera in relation to its price compared to USB cameras, but it is weaker for its intended use (security).

I needed to attach PRO camera lenses to the IP camera in order to display images of an object placed close to it and to reduce the glare of a lamp.
I used +2 lenses and a UV filter (taking into account that the camera itself has a fish eye lens). And yes, there are purple-colored lenses :D

Additional pictures of the development stages

Attempts, trials, and glimpses at my computer screen during learning.
The Serial Port version was the first one developed on the Arduino Uno, and it was the most challenging in terms of programming.
I didn't expect to have to learn so much about the streaming world, and in addition, I only added the IP camera because I wanted some privacy and to distance the Arduino from me 😁
