These steps are REQUIRED to use the doorbell camera. Skipping it will result in your code raising errors!
Feeds are the core of the Adafruit IO system. A feed holds data and meta-data that you have sent to Adafruit IO.
- Data is the information you want Adafruit IO to store. For example, image data from the MEMENTO's camera.
- Meta-data includes settings for the data such as privacy settings and data retention options.
Before using the doorbell camera, a new Adafruit IO Feed must be created to store the camera's image. Then, the feed's history must be disabled to allow larger data points to be sent to Adafruit IO, such as a large amount of data to represent an image.
To create a feed, navigate to your Adafruit IO Feeds page. Then, click New Feed.
Name the feed camera and click Create.
The feeds list now lists a camera feed. Click this feed.
Set History to OFF and click Save. This will change the feed's data storage from 1KB to 100KB, large enough to store image data.
