We need to find some way of being able to see what our pet hamsters are up to during the night. I suspect they are partying.
In this project, we are going to use a Raspberry Pi Camera Module and an Explorer HAT with a Raspberry Pi to take pictures and video of the hamsters, triggered by their movement.
Adding lights and music to the party is fun but it could keep you awake at night, and may become a little annoying to adults, so you might not want to keep your speaker turned on every night. It may also scare hamsters of a shy disposition, and as a hamster owner you have a duty to care for the wellbeing of your hamster. Check out the RSPCA Hamster Guide to learn more!
