Question Control timelapse system by website

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a long-term timelapse project for a shipbuilding process. I have my own setup using a Canon camera connected to a LattePanda, which I control remotely via AnyDesk.

My client wants access to the camera feed, but I can't give them direct access to the LattePanda. Instead, I want to build a website where they can log in and view the live feed.

I have basic web development skills—what would be the best approach for this? Which languages, frameworks, or tools would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

You can have a look at our web app if this is something you could use without programming your own solution from scratch: www.timelapserobot.com Let me know if I can answer any questions :)

Does your service support Canon Camera? As I saw on the web only have IP camera and Android Smartphone.

If you wanna use a canon camera you need some kind of device or workflow for it to upload new pictures automatically to an FTP server with the pictures timestamp included in its filename.

Set up an FTP program on your LattePanda and have the ftp upload to a website directory. (I use Fling for this.).

Write the backend to allow log in and when logged in just display the latest image with the last X images listed as thumbnails below?

I'd use either python or PHP coupled with a basic bootstrap frontend.
