The built-in camera on the A1 mini doesn't support streaming directly (see below), so in addition to the "toolhead camera" from #158, we'll likely want to have a separate monitoring camera that lets people see the device in motion to create the "feeling of control remote hardware". This will be the same as any other setup described in #11. Might seem a bit redundant given there's already a toolhead camera and the built-in A1 mini camera, but I think it will enhance the experience to be able to observe the full system operating in response to commands, and possibly for troubleshooting too.


Some resources related to the Bambu Lab built-in camera / A1 Mini streaming being unsupported:

Maybe webcamd from above would work, but seems like it could be more work than its worth compared with replicating the Pi Zero 2W setup.


@Jonathan-Woo could you also get one of these cameras set up, mounted, and pointing at the A1 mini? (secondary priority to the image capture task mentioned in #144)
