Steps
- 1Prepare an RTSP camera, Raspberry Pi, high-capacity storage device (macOS or Linux), and a Cloudflare account with a domain.
- 2Run the one-click installation command to complete basic setup, then configure .env and related API keys, Cloudflare Tunnels, and login apps as prompted.
- 3Use the built-in MCP service in openskycam to let Claude Code drive workflows, find detection results, and verify changes.
- 4Configure the nighttime workflow to run automatically, letting Claude Code review detection results and filter them.
- 5Reduce false positives like starlight through model fine-tuning, ultimately filtering out junk data every morning and sending high-quality captures via iMessage.
