🚀 How to Deploy

1. Clone and Setup

git clone https://github.com/your-username/USDA-Vision-Cameras.git
cd USDA-Vision-Cameras
uv sync

2. Configure System

# Edit config.json for your environment
# Set MQTT broker, camera settings, storage paths

3. Setup Time Sync

./setup_timezone.sh

4. Test System

python test_system.py

5. Start System

./start_system.sh

🌐 API Integration

Dashboard Integration

// React component example
const systemStatus = await fetch('http://localhost:8000/system/status');
const cameras = await fetch('http://localhost:8000/cameras');

// WebSocket for real-time updates
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8000/ws');
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
    const update = JSON.parse(event.data);
    // Handle real-time system updates
};

Manual Control

# Start recording manually
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/cameras/camera1/start-recording

# Stop recording manually  
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/cameras/camera1/stop-recording

# Get system status
curl http://localhost:8000/system/status
