I need a raspberry pi that can monitor parking spots so I know if I have a spot waiting for me when I get off of work. Of course I don't know how to code so it will probably never happen.

edit: I meant parking spaces outside of my apartment.

I'll give it a shot, if you can shoot a couple of short stable videos and images of your parking spaces and upload them somewhere.

That would be cool, I'll get them to you in about 4 hours when I'm home.

I don't know how to send PM's. Here is a short video of the three spots. https://www.dropbox.com/s/w0q6frn9bxufy8m/2016-05-18%2011.34...

Great! I had a look, and already have some ideas I'll try out.

If possible, I think it'll be be helpful if you can shoot a second video or image with all 3 spots empty. I'll probably need it because I plan to use the curb's edges and surface colors of the slots.

Just to confirm, are these videos shot from the same spot where you'll eventually fix your camera?

Can you find me on twitter so I can PM you easier? Same username. I can get you way more data if you want. I need to bust out the raspberry pi so I can get you actual video from the camera I'm going to use.
