Open a terminal window and enter: raspistill -o Desktop/image.jpgĪ preview window will appear. Click Yes when advised that a reboot is needed.

To do this, open Menu > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration and click on Interface, then set Camera, SSH, and VNC to Enabled (see this documentation). Turn on the interface for the camera, and enable SSH and VNC so you can access Raspberry Pi OS remotely when it’s sitting out in the garden. It helps if you can access this network from the garden. Go through the Raspberry Pi setup, making sure you change the default password (since it will be accessible to anyone), and connect to your wireless network. Insert the updated microSD card and use a regular power supply to start it up (keep your power bank on charge separately while you set things up). You’ll need a keyboard and mouse to set up the Raspberry Pi, but you can disconnect them at the end.

Set up your Raspberry Pi and let it perform any OS updates needed. A Raspberry Pi plus camera is a great solution for web-enabled snapping
