Hi guys
I am starting on a project to build a small monitoring station it’s purpose is to monitor occupants of passing cars and record the number of people that look at an advertisement, the information needs to be captured by a suitable camera and either stored locally on a storage device or sent directly to a remote storage, then either can then be accessed and analysed.
My first thought was to use Raspberry pi as the main board but there are several alturnative manufacturers out there which may have a more suitable board.
The project would require a camera capable of capturing good quality pictures or video and be able to connect to a cellular network using a 4G SIM card, support a storage device (if needed ) and have a low power requirement so that it can be powered by battery, which could be charged by solar panel.
Can anyone suggest a board that would support as much of these requirements as possible on board and have an easy to use OS which would make any needed add on boards or peripherals as easy as possible to program and get up and running
I would greatly appreciate any advice regarding the most suitable choice of main board and any other advice to help me to get this project going.
Thank you
