## What it is
A PHP-based web interface for controlling the Raspberry Pi Camera module. It provides live streaming, motion detection, time-lapse capture, and image/video recording through a browser.

## Use cases
- set up a raspberry pi security camera with a web interface
- stream live video from a raspberry pi camera in a browser
- record video and take photos from a pi camera remotely
- build a motion-detection surveillance camera with a raspberry pi
- capture time-lapse sequences with a raspberry pi camera
- monitor my home with a pi camera over the network

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made browser UI for the Raspberry Pi camera without writing code
- you need motion detection, time-lapse, and recording out of the box on a Pi
- you want a lightweight self-hosted camera control panel on Raspberry Pi OS

## When to avoid
- you need a modern maintained stack or non-PHP deployment
- you're not using a Raspberry Pi camera or Pi hardware
- you need multi-camera enterprise surveillance features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, video-processing, image-processing, monitoring, gui
- domain: iot, computer-vision, self-hosted, web-development, hardware
- platform: self-hosted, php
- tags: raspberry-pi, camera, motion-detection, time-lapse, surveillance, web-interface, linux, web-server
