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.

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?
