#MotionEye

2025-06-04

Before someone jumps in to ask "have you tried #MotionEye?

Yes. it's too old and too unsupported for current #raspberrypi bookworm OS, and the kernel dependencies mean it won't see my camera.

#MotionEyeOS (which is diff from MotionEye!) is a black box at the command line as far as I can tell, and though I got it running, it doesn't see any camera I have.

@cyclical_obsessive I am STILL in the weeds on this. After getting #MotionEye to see the camera under #raspbian I tweaked the OS and lost the camera to MO.

Tried redoing what I had done, & no joy. So now I'm trying MotionEyeOS which hasn't been truly updated in 4 years, and appears to not be compatible with the Arducam IMX219 at the kernel level.

So now I'm probably back to trying raspian again. This $55 worth of hardware will end up with over $2000 of my time in it.

@cm Wenn es irgendwann mal paßt, dann werd ich drauf gacksen und einige RasPis mit Kamera und Stromversorgung inklusive LAN verteilen (scheiß Kabelzieherei) und alles mit betreiben. Aber das ist halt richtig Arbeit verglichen mit den Chinaböllern mit WEIFEI.

Jedenfalls ist der nächste Schritt ein Zaun mit 8 bis 12 kV um die Pipis statt bloß Eierdieb-Porno.
Material fast vollständig im Haus, Lücken werden mit BastEI geschlossen, weils halt auch ums EI geht.

#Outdor #ÜberwachungsKamera ... Was nimmt man da am besten?!? Kenne mich in der Thematik nicht aus. Welche Anbieter, haben ein "offenes" System? Welche können gut mit z.B. #motion bzw. #motionEye genutzt werden?

Feeling like I've made some progress this year. I was able to install #samba, #Pihole, #unbound, and #motioneye without the aid of the #dietpi scripts onto my #pi5 running plain raspberry pi os. Unfortunately, my apache/php skills aren't yet up to the task of getting #FreshRSS or #Nextcloud configured by myself. I have all these running on my current #Pi4 server, but replacing it with this #Pi5 is one of my goals this winter break.

Sjå det. Då var me i gang med #trafikkteljing att. #motioneye #raspberrypi

I feel dumb. I spent quite a lot of time setting up a security system using #MotionEye on various #RaspberryPi boards with v2 cameras. It has been nearly eight months and I just NOW figure out that the reason pictures record and the videos didn't was because I had the wrong version of #h264 encoding selected. Eight. Months.

#raspberrypi camera module 3 ist zum Kotzen! Riesen Akt zum Einrichten und dann funktioniert's nur so halb.
v2.1 bestellt.

#raspberrypi camera module 3 auf #dietpi zum Laufen gebracht. Was für ein Akt!

#raspberrypi camera module 3 ist ein totaler Krampf! Vor einem Jahr beiseite gelegt.
Mal Zeit wieder Zeit anzugreifen.
Jemand hier Erfahrung? Klappt das inzwischen besser?

Hi, is there any good recommendation for setting up a #Raspberry pi (zero) as an IP cam? And something easy (to maintain) if possible.
#MotionEye seems to be not maintained anymore and so to be a security risk. :(
I wanted to update my very old pi Zero setup to a modern solution.

Boosts for range appreciated.

So far the #yunohost journey has been a mixed bag. Very easy initial installation (much more so than typical Debian). DNS setup quirks that were able to be eventually resolved. Super smooth #jellyfin install and setup, then big road bumps for #motionEye and #HomeAssistant. Still unable to get either of those to work correctly.

Adding external storage was also trickier than expected.

How is it so gosh dang hard to get a webcam feed to record and show up on a #raspberrypi? I have a simple USB webcam. VLC can record but not display at the same time. Motion, and it's front-end #motionEye, don't even *see* the camera.

Ich habe gestern mal #frigate statt #motioneye für #homeassistant ausprobiert. Braucht deutlich mehr CPU, erkennt aber auch deutlich besser Objekte und hat fast kein Lag. Motioneye hing immer circa 20 Sekunden hinterher.

Demnächst kommt noch eine Coral Edge TPU, um die CPU bei der Erkennung zu entlasten, dann sollte es noch stabiler werden.

@chartier thanks for making me feel smug about spending no more than 67 hours getting a #raspberrypi #motioneye #homeassistant doorcam working ;)

Perhaps I should move on from #motioneye as my video surveillance software for my #RPi system. I finally get it set up to detect motion and send stills/movies to a central ftp server, but one wonky camera crashes the whole system. I've had to uninstall/reinstall the central system 6 times!

Looks like I am all in for an #RPi based security cam system. #Motioneye has been easy enough to use, and it gives me complete control over my own data. The learning curve was steep, but nearly as high as I had once assumed. Now if I could only use an extra #raspberrypi to build an automatic cat-feeder...

The #Dietpi #rpicam software works just fine with the camera, but #motioneye fails to detect it. C'est la vie, I suppose.
