Sensor data and live video through Starlink Mini
Baztech integrates Starlink Mini connectivity for an IoT weather station and camera analytics application. The setup sends weather-station data and streams camera video in real time to the Baztech server through Starlink Mini.
The project combines an RS485 weather station with a TP-Link camera. Weather measurements and video provide two sources of information for the server-side monitoring and analytics application.
RS485 weather station and TP-Link camera
The weather station uses an RS485 interface for its sensor-data connection. The TP-Link camera supplies the video stream, while Starlink Mini provides the connection used to upload data and video to the server.
The supplied image shows a riverside monitoring arrangement with weather-sensing equipment, a camera, a flat terminal and an enclosed equipment cabinet mounted on a pole. It illustrates the field setup associated with the project.
Solar-charged lithium-ion battery power
The setup runs on a lithium-ion battery charged by a solar panel. This brings battery power, solar charging, weather sensing, camera video and satellite connectivity into the same monitoring application.
For a similar project in Malaysia, share the weather-station interface, camera model, required video stream, installation location and power requirements. These details help define the sensor, connectivity and server integration scope.
