Probably the first time in a long time, where I have followed a tutorial for the raspberry pi and got it working first pop. Thank you very much! this is gonna be cool to use for all sorts of things. Mainly to monitor my 3D printer in the garage.
Wow!!!! Didn't know about this MotionEyeOS!!! Very nice, I used to use motion + rapsbian configured from scratch, but after researching how to setup GoogleDrive account I found your videos! Good job!!!
Hi, great video! Very informative, I had to use jawsper's version of the motioneyeos image due to having a raspberry pi zero 2 w with a cam rev1.3 instead, but it works great. But the problem is I'm making a dashcam and cannot have a wifi connected to the pi, so is it possible to use motioneyeos offline? Or even making its own wifi acess point would do, in fact make it more convenient. Would be glad if you could help me out!
This video was a huge help on getting my system up and running. I'd been working on various solutions for a couple weeks and your video provided a solution in a couple hours. Much appreciated and Thanks.

Thanks for a very comprehensive video... well done. I have watched many other video and none have been so complete and so clearly explained each section. Now have mine setup. I’m trying to install a camera at an RC flying field so members can see the wind sock and who may be flying. Was hoping to stream live video but we are in a remote area and will try and attach to a someone’s local xfinitywifi router so we will not be able to do “port forwarding" to allow live stream. (can't find any other way to do it). We will just take still pictures at a 5-10 interval and send to Google Drive and then Facebook. Thanks again
Light Switch Detection is really useful actually. Set to >80% it will treat a light change (such as a sun coming out from behind a cloud) as a non-event, avoiding lots of false positives and empty pictures caused by lighting changes. Conversely, you would disable this feature if you wanted to treat light changes as motion events. For example, perhaps you have a sensor light outside your window, you would want to record when the sensor light turned on, so you set Light Switch Detection to 0%.
Your video is terrific! I found your video helpful on merit of the content and your editing. Color me an instant subscriber. I look forward to giving this a go and following along as you expand content and explore more fun and useful applications for the wonderful Raspberry Pi.
Thanks for this video! I have been looking for a system for my house for a while that was Raspberry based. While there are many, your presentation rose to the top. It would be great to see other various camera hooks up along with the MotionEyeOS software.
Hey thanks for the video! I see in comment from two years ago you suggest to setup a Dynamic DNS and then forward the port for MotionEyes if you wanted to access the camera remotely, but said you had some other thoughts on it as well. Is this method still what’d you would recommend or do you consider it insecure or less simple than a newer found method? Thanks!
Thanks for your video. MotionEyeOS: I have raspberryPi4 model B. The image doesn't seem to work for this model. Do you have a more recent version? Thank you.
This GitHub release says they added Pi 4 support Sept 11, 2019: github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/releases/tag/20190911 Here's a link to the June 6, 2020 (most recent release) Pi 4 release: github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/releases/download/20200606/motioneyeos-raspberrypi4-20200606.img.xz
I have made an image with the help of your link but it won’t boot. Could it be that my raspberry isn’t compatible? My raspberry is from april 2021. (I am from the Netherlands so it is possible that my english isn’t correct, my apologies for that.)
Thank-you. It was very clearly explained. I set up a camera a couple of weeks ago (my first Raspberry Pi project) and was hoping to add a second camera with a Pi Zero 2 W, but I didn't know how to add the wpa_supplicant.config file.
Thanks for the great tutorial. It will really come in handy when I configure mine. This can save me some money by ditching my current web cam service. The specifics about the app were very informative. Great video.
Your tutorial is very good so far, and it has helped me understand precisely what to do. However, I have tried every single image file that could be possibly compatible with my pi and none of them will boot. I've used win imager and the raspberry pi imager for almost every combination of image files to put them on my SD card. However, my Raspberry Pi 3 B +, blinks 4 times slow, and 7 times fast, indicating there is something wrong with the startup files in the SD card. I have no idea what is going on as when I used the official Pi imager to put Raspberry Pi OS on there, it booted up and worked fine. Just MotionEyeOS, and I really want to fix this. Do you have any solutions?
Is this still relevant in 2024 or is there a newer replacement for this? Also, after the setup does it need to be connected to the internet? I want to setup a wired, 4k, 6-8 camera, multi TB storage, 2 display system for my house and shop that totally works off the internet. Is this the way to go? Thanks for the videos, i look forward to watching all of them about this.
@ any suggestions links or directions to look would really be appreciated. Is it because the pi isn’t strong enough? Thanks for the reply love the channel
@@gsdtdeaux7 You might look into an inexpensive N100/N200 device and use something like Scrypted or Frigate. One of my Discord mods uses a Beelink EQ13 with Scrypted and it's been pretty solid
Iv had a few robberies in my area and the home owners that were robbed said that robbers have been smart enough to take the cctv box. Im thinking of placing a device like this near my cctv box to catch them and have store in a cloud so they cant take it. But one big question is how quickly will it upload in case they turn off the power.
Great video. Was up and running in no time. Can you please, please, please expand the how to portion regarding Wireless IP camera's. I'm having a terrible time finding wireless cameras compatible with MotionEyeOS. Most wireless cameras are only compatible with camera manufacturers software, apps etc... Any proven wireless camera model numbers would be VERY helpful. Thanks and keep up the good work.
thanks for the video. How do I go about saving my recording directly to an external hard drive on a raspberry pi 4 when my motioneye is in a homa assistant in a docker? I have now idea what im doing and this is all so confusing, thanks.
Good one. Very happy with MotionEye. I would like to access the System remotely. Still working on that. And need to have the files stored on Dropbox or google drive, for security. Still tweaking the settings. But over all am happy with this. Have two cameras. Hopefully adding two more.

Hi! Thanks for the video! I already install it and configured 4 Hikvision IP cameras. There is a way to see the cameras with a monitor attached directly to the RaspberryPi? I am using a Rasperri Pi 3. Thanks in advance
@@DBTechYT Thanks for the answer. Then i ´ll looking for another option, to get all the solution in a single device. Maybe with a Raspian with GUI to use a browser and the app installed on it. I´ll try
I get the image onto the card. But when I re-insert it. When 10 wants to reformat the partitions that were created. I’m using the version for the raspberry pi 3B. Any thoughts
@@DBTechYT hey gracias por tu respuesta y encima en Español. gracias lo de los puertos la verdad no se como se hace si tienes algun link o tutorial te agradeceria mucho. un saludo desde España!
El problema con un tutorial como ese es que cada enrutador y módem son diferentes, por lo que debe encontrar las instrucciones para cada elemento que tenga en su red para determinar cómo configurar el reenvío de puertos.
How could i watch the cameras live from a different location and different network? Is it possible to check the cameras from your phone even when not at your house? And can you also require a login for the cameras with remote control? Fairly new to remote control and surveillance cameras so sorry if this is quite noob 😛
That's actually a good question. There are a few things that you would need. First, you would want to setup some kind of Dynamic DNS on your router so that you don't have to use your (presumably home) IP address out in the wild. There are several services out there, so be sure to pick on that your router supports. Once you've got that setup, you'll need to figure out what port your MotionEyeOs is running on. Then you need to setup port forwarding on your router and/or modem depending on your network setup. For instance, I have a modem/router combo that I got from my ISP. I only use it for the modem purposes and have my own router in place. Because of that, I have to login to my modem and forward the port to my router. From there I have to login to my router and setup port forwarding to my Raspberry Pi. Then you've got a couple of options. You should just be able open a browser and navigate to whatever URL your dynamic DNS setup for you and make sure you're on the right port. For instance something like: customurl.dynamicdns.com:8080 There's also an Android app that I just recently discovered that you would need to setup on your phone. You'd still need to do all of the port forwarding stuff, but you'd have an app you could use instead of just a browser window. I was actually thinking about doing this exact thing the other day and making a video about it, but the port forwarding portion of things will take me some time to figure out how to explain in a video. Anyway, I hope this all helps.
@@Felix-ve9hs I am having the same issue with a Pi 3b works fine with a wired connection. I also setup up wireless network setting via a wired connection and still no luck
I have the same issue with my RPI 4 , I’ve been looking all over to find a solution with no luck at the moment. I haven’t tried wired yet, but I think I’ll need to do that then connect via wireless and hope this works (I’m a noob by the way, not touched RPI’s before or Linux)
Hello, I did everything right but I can't get the ip address (that's you're supposed to get at 5:48). It failed to set the current date and time so I thought maybe that was the issue, so I used another microSD card and fixed the date and time. When I tried again but it still failed and I didn't get the ip address. Everything else seems to work just fine but I'm stuck there. Any advice?
Hello, I need to have a any configuration. I achieved to into via crhome but I don't see my picamera. I have the picamera in the raspberry pi . thank you
So... After about 20 minutes of messing with things, I've got MotionEye running in Docker and I've got a Wyze camera with a custom RTSP firmware running on it. I had to jump through some hoops, but I got it working. There's a bit of a delay, but, considering what all is going on, I think that's pretty much expected. Definitely going to have to do a video on this very soon!! ( Screenshot as proof: imgur.com/a/iDiw9PW )
@@DBTechYT that's awesome! After doing some research, it seems like Zoneminder might be a better alternative because it has an app with push notifications. It would be great if you can check it out and tell me your opinion.
I remember looking into Zoneminder and there was something i didn't like. I don't remember what, but there was *something*... Might have to look into it again. Hell, maybe I'll make a couple of videos on it :)
Thanks for the video. I'm currently having trouble. For some reason the video is no longer being sent to my Google drive. I'm fairly new to motioneyeos and raspberrypi an d I haven't been able to figure it out.
Just a note to anyone trying to install MotionEyeOS on a RasPi 4 8GB: it doesn't work. During boot an error is returned saying that "This board requires newer software." I don't know for sure, but I suspect this is because of the 64 bit CPU.
I have installed this on a Pi 4 8GB. "This product's key features include a high-performance 64-bit quad-core processor" which tells me that you may just need to update your device's firmware to the newest available version.
Thx so much for responding that you've got it running on a Pi4-8GB. I realized that, maybe, part of it is I had the 32 bit version of Raspbian installed. I'm doing it with the 64 bit now. And, I'm watching your Pi4-8GB unboxing & firmware update video now.
@@DBTechYT No luck. With your help I got the firmware updated to 04nov2022, so there's that. Other than that, on boot it just keeps cycling around, saying elf is not compativle and this board requires newer software. Also, it appears this project may be dying. The latest release is 2 years ago. Maybe better to look at something else. Funny thing is, all I want to do is http stream my 3D printer cameras. I'm not even interested in recording anything; just viewing.
i will try your wpa_supplicant.conf file and see what happens. I've tried several different ones and none have allowed for a connection to my wifi network. I have a working motioneye when using a RasPi 3 Model B connected to the LAN. But haven't been able to setup motioneye on either Model B or Zero W. What's going on?
After downloading and preparing everything properly, can I then use a secondary router that isn't connected to the internet at all? Like just pluging the router into the wall-socket without connecting the it to the modem? I do *NOT* want my security cameras to be on the main network, or even be connected to the same router as my other devices with internet access! Only limiting access to certain MAC-addresses and setting up firewall and various security rules aren't secure enough - I do *NOT* want either the cameras, the router or any device that is viewing the cameras through the network to even being able to *accidently* connect to the internet whatsoever!
I tried wyze cam that supports rtsp stream but the motion eye don’t show an option for adding such camera. It only had two type of camera listed. Can I add support for rtsp stream?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'm going to give it a go anyway. Wyze cameras, by default, don't have RTSP enabled. There is a custom firmware that you can side load that will enable RTSP, though. I've noticed from my own experience that Wyze camera RTSP can be kinda of slow and choppy when streaming through a 3rd party system like MotionEye or iSpy.
I have a question i am running a rassbian os on the pi how I could do this without removing the system on the sd card ?? And if i want to connect the data to fire base to open it with application what is your advice for that
You've given me nothing to work with. You haven't told me about what kind of camera it is. You haven't told me how it hooks up. You haven't told me what things you've tried. You haven't told me literally anything to help me understand your setup.
@@DBTechYT Yes right. Ok I am using Rasp PI 3 with Motion Eye OS. Using an Amazon camera that describes itself as a “Mini Camera” using m-jpeg video coding. Format AVI. MoEyeOs shows an error of “Unable to open video device” MoEyeOs software up to date.
Nice job making video. I have many cams this would be perfect for. I didn't notice any ref to RPi-4 and wondering if this would be happy on that. Kudos for all the info, and great job making it easy for us to understand. X_Marine/BillyD
Great tutorial. I am trying to stream audio using raspberry over the web so I can listen to local live audio at any other location by getting on line. I am having a hard time figuring that out.
latest release 20190119 has most of this stuff gone....update video? or should I stick with this version?.....Ive remember seeing all those options when i first took a crack at it but have since dropped it because i got busy but now back at it and it has far fewer control options than this version update: going through this version your currently on , google drive fails :[
@@DBTechYT Hi thanks for the response ....i do have other questions ok let me start with this I will just get straight to the point I was having issues with the cams, had advanced settings on, turned on Fast Network Cam, camera issued fixed but lost advanced features (fast network cam disables advanced features) Ended up reflashing sd with the latest release, no more cam issues did not turn on fast network cam had all settings as shown in video... google works too my plan have three rasp pi's (two 3+ and one 3) wanted to do multi cam setup was seeing other people do this with pi zeros as cams and pi 3+ as hub I don't have zeros nor plan to use them so my setup 3+ & 3 as cam and 3+ as hub like you, I plan on saving stuff to google drive, cool with stuff being saved on sd card just for kicks my confusion now lies on the hub ( I have an idea on why its needed for the pi zeros, for the extra horsepower ? correct me if im wrong noob DiY'er here) So my questions, why is a hub is needed?, do I need the hub if I'm using full-sized pi's? *side note for anyone who is doing this and have set their pi up for wireless and assigned a static ip but have the wrong date showing, make sure that your gateway is the correct ( default 192.168.1.1) .....that was my issue did an ipconfing to find out my default gateway, was different than default changed it and fixed the wrong date issue thanks sorry for the long post, cheers
You don't NEED a hub, but it's good if you want to have one place to login and access all your cameras. You could setup each one and never have any of them work together if you wanted, but the hub is just to have a single access point to see all your cameras. Also, Pi Zeros are MUCH weaker than the 3 is, so there's no "extra horsepower" using zeros over 3 or 3+.
I downloaded the version for raspberry pi 3, but when I unzip this using Winzip, I only see one disc image file rather than the separate file that would also include where I would modify country, SSID, and password. What can I do to change this? Will this be a problem in later steps?
Depends on what kind of cameras you're using. If you're using RTSP cameras, you can add several with just the RTSP cameras and 1 Raspberry Pi. If you're using webcams, you can plug as many webcams as you have usb ports. Once you max out your ports, you'll need additional Pis.
I've been able to set up via ethernet cable just fine but I have tried everything with the wpa_supplicant.conf file and haven't been able to boot with it. Every time the starting wpa_supplicant.conf file gets the failed message after I place it on there manually. Interestingly enough it is not saved on the sd card when I pull it out of the Pi 3 B although I am confident I placed it on there after formatting the sd drive. It's as if it's deleted.
I had the same problem and tried the steps over and over again. Then I switch my network from the 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz and this worked. I don't know why it wouldn't work with the 5 Ghz band since the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is suppose to work with both 2.4 and 5G
I am using Hassio..I have installed the motioneye from the store. But it is not seeing the usb camera I have pulled in Do I have to set anything in the configuration.yaml file .?
Hey db, can I call you db? Anyways, I put this together and when I load it up it seemed like it was running slow and would freeze up. Is there anyway to fix this?
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that maybe there's something wrong with your micro SD card? If it has a slow read/write speed, that might also have an impact.
You have to forward that port from your modem and router to your Raspberry Pi. Then you should be able to access the stream by going to the IP address from your ISP. If you don't know what it is, go to ipchicken.com
Hi, I’ve followed your tutorial on my RPI4 and I’m getting an error when I boot: failed (brcfmac) it also says Wireless: no-link then tried to connect via wired connection and fails due to it not being plugged in. Can you help me please?
@@cesaraliaga6894 yes I did. Install raspion OS and copy the internet file from inside and paste it into the MotioneyeOS.

@@DBTechYT hey gracias por tu respuesta y encima en Español. gracias lo de los puertos la verdad no se como se hace si tienes algun link o tutorial te agradeceria mucho. un saludo desde España!
El problema con un tutorial como ese es que cada enrutador y módem son diferentes, por lo que debe encontrar las instrucciones para cada elemento que tenga en su red para determinar cómo configurar el reenvío de puertos.
@@DBTechYT Gracias!!
great tutorial thank you for sharing
I'm glad the video helped
Great video however when I obtain my key from google for file storage and hit the "Test Service" button nothing happens. Any suggestions?
did you copy and paste the key from the Google page into your Raspberry Pi page?
I copied and pasted it into the field on MotionEyeOs for it. Is that not correct?
That should work
Would my network settings on Motion play a role in it not working?
Maybe. Try connecting to a 2.4Ghz wireless network and see if that helps at all.
Thanks for the idea keep up the good work!!
Thanks
How could i watch the cameras live from a different location and different network? Is it possible to check the cameras from your phone even when not at your house? And can you also require a login for the cameras with remote control? Fairly new to remote control and surveillance cameras so sorry if this is quite noob 😛
That's actually a good question.
There are a few things that you would need.
First, you would want to setup some kind of Dynamic DNS on your router so that you don't have to use your (presumably home) IP address out in the wild. There are several services out there, so be sure to pick on that your router supports.
Once you've got that setup, you'll need to figure out what port your MotionEyeOs is running on. Then you need to setup port forwarding on your router and/or modem depending on your network setup. For instance, I have a modem/router combo that I got from my ISP. I only use it for the modem purposes and have my own router in place. Because of that, I have to login to my modem and forward the port to my router. From there I have to login to my router and setup port forwarding to my Raspberry Pi.
Then you've got a couple of options. You should just be able open a browser and navigate to whatever URL your dynamic DNS setup for you and make sure you're on the right port. For instance something like: customurl.dynamicdns.com:8080
There's also an Android app that I just recently discovered that you would need to setup on your phone. You'd still need to do all of the port forwarding stuff, but you'd have an app you could use instead of just a browser window.
I was actually thinking about doing this exact thing the other day and making a video about it, but the port forwarding portion of things will take me some time to figure out how to explain in a video.
Anyway, I hope this all helps.
hi! how do i do if i want to have this to watch my 3d printer? im not on same wifi then! thanks for a good video!
You setup a camera that points at your 3D printer. Whatever network your 3D printer is on is completely irrelevant.
I keep struggling with setting up a wireless Internet connection. I constantly get the same error: brcmfmac. Do you have a solution for me?
- What Raspberry Pi do you have?
- What Version of MotionEyeOS do you have?
- Can you use Ethernet and if does it work?
@@Felix-ve9hs I am having the same issue with a Pi 3b works fine with a wired connection. I also setup up wireless network setting via a wired connection and still no luck
Somehow one of the notepad++ files worked for me finally. Thanks for your help anyways.
I have the same issue with my RPI 4 , I’ve been looking all over to find a solution with no luck at the moment. I haven’t tried wired yet, but I think I’ll need to do that then connect via wireless and hope this works (I’m a noob by the way, not touched RPI’s before or Linux)
@@jerrybomcool I have a 4 as well. I've tried so many times but I can't get the ip address (that's you're supposed to get at 5:47). any advice?
Hello, I did everything right but I can't get the ip address (that's you're supposed to get at 5:48). It failed to set the current
date and time so I thought maybe that was the issue, so I used another microSD card and fixed the date and time. When I tried again but it still failed and I didn't get the ip address. Everything else seems to work just fine but I'm stuck there. Any advice?
The wpa_supplement file has to be edited with a program like note++
Hello, I need to have a any configuration. I achieved to into via crhome but I don't see my picamera. I have the picamera in the raspberry pi . thank you
what are you supposed to do with the raspberry interface at 7:00 ? there is nothing else to do with it ?
Great video, thanks!
You bet!
I would love to see this done on a docker with Traefik 2. Is this possible? If so, would you be able to create a video?
It can be installed in Docker, so I'm pretty sure it could be installed in Traefik. I'll have to take a look at it and see what I can come up with.
So... After about 20 minutes of messing with things, I've got MotionEye running in Docker and I've got a Wyze camera with a custom RTSP firmware running on it. I had to jump through some hoops, but I got it working. There's a bit of a delay, but, considering what all is going on, I think that's pretty much expected. Definitely going to have to do a video on this very soon!! ( Screenshot as proof: imgur.com/a/iDiw9PW )
@@DBTechYT that's awesome! After doing some research, it seems like Zoneminder might be a better alternative because it has an app with push notifications. It would be great if you can check it out and tell me your opinion.
I remember looking into Zoneminder and there was something i didn't like. I don't remember what, but there was *something*... Might have to look into it again. Hell, maybe I'll make a couple of videos on it :)
Thanks for the video. I'm currently having trouble. For some reason the video is no longer being sent to my Google drive. I'm fairly new to motioneyeos and raspberrypi an d I haven't been able to figure it out.
Disconnect Google drive and reconnect it
@@DBTechYT Tyvm it's up and running now
great .. I just want to know is it possible to view the camera output in a disaplay connected via HDMI Instead of browser in other PC.
You can if you connect directly to the raspberry pi with a keyboard, mouse, and monitor and login directly
@@DBTechYT can you send the video signal somewhere else like to a CCTV DVR system via bnc?
Not sure honestly. Never tried it
@@DBTechYT So I can't send video outside of the pi?
Hi
I am not able to connect raspberry pi zero to router and I am not getting ip address
Can I use mobile hotspot for this?
I have twister OS on my pi 400, do I have to reglash for this?
Yes. Or get another pi
Just a note to anyone trying to install MotionEyeOS on a RasPi 4 8GB: it doesn't work. During boot an error is returned saying that "This board requires newer software." I don't know for sure, but I suspect this is because of the 64 bit CPU.
I have installed this on a Pi 4 8GB.
"This product's key features include a high-performance 64-bit quad-core processor" which tells me that you may just need to update your device's firmware to the newest available version.
Thx so much for responding that you've got it running on a Pi4-8GB. I realized that, maybe, part of it is I had the 32 bit version of Raspbian installed. I'm doing it with the 64 bit now. And, I'm watching your Pi4-8GB unboxing & firmware update video now.
Ah. Yeah. The 32-bit OS would most likely be your issue. Best of luck getting it sorted!
@@DBTechYT No luck. With your help I got the firmware updated to 04nov2022, so there's that. Other than that, on boot it just keeps cycling around, saying elf is not compativle and this board requires newer software.
Also, it appears this project may be dying. The latest release is 2 years ago. Maybe better to look at something else. Funny thing is, all I want to do is http stream my 3D printer cameras. I'm not even interested in recording anything; just viewing.
Maybe have a look at something like Octoprint?
i will try your wpa_supplicant.conf file and see what happens. I've tried several different ones and none have allowed for a connection to my wifi network. I have a working motioneye when using a RasPi 3 Model B connected to the LAN. But haven't been able to setup motioneye on either Model B or Zero W. What's going on?
i am facing same issue ... did you find any solution?
very very helpful
After downloading and preparing everything properly, can I then use a secondary router that isn't connected to the internet at all? Like just pluging the router into the wall-socket without connecting the it to the modem?
I do *NOT* want my security cameras to be on the main network, or even be connected to the same router as my other devices with internet access! Only limiting access to certain MAC-addresses and setting up firewall and various security rules aren't secure enough - I do *NOT* want either the cameras, the router or any device that is viewing the cameras through the network to even being able to *accidently* connect to the internet whatsoever!
Yeah, you could do that
will a rpi zero w be able to handle frame rate of 30? or should i get a different model for a high frame system?
I would get something a bit more powerful I think
@@DBTechYT is it a good idea to setup cameras with zero's then have a pi4 hub, or would i need more powerful pi per camera?
Reallu useful, thanks!
Glad to hear that!
Hi, is there any possibility that we can use gopro hero 5 black for camera ?
If it's got the option to be an IP camera
@@DBTechYT Thank you
I had it working now when I boot it, it says raspim.py not running respawing
I tried wyze cam that supports rtsp stream but the motion eye don’t show an option for adding such camera. It only had two type of camera listed. Can I add support for rtsp stream?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'm going to give it a go anyway. Wyze cameras, by default, don't have RTSP enabled. There is a custom firmware that you can side load that will enable RTSP, though. I've noticed from my own experience that Wyze camera RTSP can be kinda of slow and choppy when streaming through a 3rd party system like MotionEye or iSpy.
I have a question i am running a rassbian os on the pi how I could do this without removing the system on the sd card ?? And if i want to connect the data to fire base to open it with application what is your advice for that
You're going to have to remove the sd card. No way around that
Hey there. Can you help me troubleshoot a camera that won’t show up in Motion Eye OS on a Rasp PI 3? Thank you.
You've given me nothing to work with. You haven't told me about what kind of camera it is. You haven't told me how it hooks up. You haven't told me what things you've tried. You haven't told me literally anything to help me understand your setup.
@@DBTechYT Yes right. Ok I am using Rasp PI 3 with Motion Eye OS. Using an Amazon camera that describes itself as a “Mini Camera” using m-jpeg video coding. Format AVI. MoEyeOs shows an error of “Unable to open video device” MoEyeOs software up to date.
@@DBTechYT Connected cameras by USB. I’ve just tried changing resolution and increasing frame rate, turned off motion detection. No luck.
Hi, eyes motion support ip cameras?
Yes it does. I'm actually getting ready to make another MotionEyeOS video soon :)
Hi,
I'm looking for a img.xz file which is compatible with the raspberry pi zero w.
I can't find one. Does anyone know which one I should use?

This should work on a Pi 4, but the video was created before the Pi 4 was a thing.
@@DBTechYT I understand.

latest release 20190119 has most of this stuff gone....update video? or should I stick with this version?.....Ive remember seeing all those options when i first took a crack at it but have since dropped it because i got busy but now back at it and it has far fewer control options than this version
update: going through this version your currently on , google drive fails :[
Did you turn on the advanced settings switch in the interface?
@@DBTechYT Hi thanks for the response ....i do have other questions
ok let me start with this I will just get straight to the point
I was having issues with the cams, had advanced settings on, turned on Fast Network Cam, camera issued fixed but lost advanced features (fast network cam disables advanced features)
Ended up reflashing sd with the latest release, no more cam issues did not turn on fast network cam had all settings as shown in video... google works too
my plan have three rasp pi's (two 3+ and one 3) wanted to do multi cam setup
was seeing other people do this with pi zeros as cams and pi 3+ as hub
I don't have zeros nor plan to use them so my setup 3+ & 3 as cam and 3+ as hub
like you, I plan on saving stuff to google drive, cool with stuff being saved on sd card just for kicks
my confusion now lies on the hub ( I have an idea on why its needed for the pi zeros, for the extra horsepower ? correct me if im wrong noob DiY'er here)
So my questions, why is a hub is needed?, do I need the hub if I'm using full-sized pi's?
*side note
for anyone who is doing this and have set their pi up for wireless and assigned a static ip but have the wrong date showing, make sure that your gateway is the correct ( default 192.168.1.1) .....that was my issue did an ipconfing to find out my default gateway, was different than default changed it and fixed the wrong date issue
thanks sorry for the long post, cheers
You don't NEED a hub, but it's good if you want to have one place to login and access all your cameras. You could setup each one and never have any of them work together if you wanted, but the hub is just to have a single access point to see all your cameras. Also, Pi Zeros are MUCH weaker than the 3 is, so there's no "extra horsepower" using zeros over 3 or 3+.
DB Tech do you have a recommended software to view multiple camera streams on one screen remotely? Is motioneye able to do that natively?
What about license plate recognition ?
Not on this, no. But you might be able to add it to the core if you're a coder.
What flavor of raspberry OS are you using
Hey! Is audio a thing with motioneye now?
Not that I know of, but you can look here for more info: github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos
I downloaded the version for raspberry pi 3, but when I unzip this using Winzip, I only see one disc image file rather than the separate file that would also include where I would modify country, SSID, and password. What can I do to change this? Will this be a problem in later steps?
You have to download the wpa_supplicant.conf file from the link in the description.
What hardware is needed to connect multiple cameras to a PC?
Depends on what kind of cameras you're using. If you're using RTSP cameras, you can add several with just the RTSP cameras and 1 Raspberry Pi. If you're using webcams, you can plug as many webcams as you have usb ports. Once you max out your ports, you'll need additional Pis.
I try it it’s working but what can i do to access the stream from outside ???!!!
You'll have to do some port forwarding from your modem/router to your device
I've been able to set up via ethernet cable just fine but I have tried everything with the wpa_supplicant.conf file and haven't been able to boot with it. Every time the starting wpa_supplicant.conf file gets the failed message after I place it on there manually. Interestingly enough it is not saved on the sd card when I pull it out of the Pi 3 B although I am confident I placed it on there after formatting the sd drive. It's as if it's deleted.
The video was super helpful though btw! Thank you!
Then connect via ethernet, open the settings (maybe under advanced settings) and turn on wifi and connect that way
I had the same problem and tried the steps over and over again. Then I switch my network from the 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz and this worked. I don't know why it wouldn't work with the 5 Ghz band since the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is suppose to work with both 2.4 and 5G
I am using Hassio..I have installed the motioneye from the store. But it is not seeing the usb camera I have pulled in
Do I have to set anything in the configuration.yaml file .?
I am not the guy to ask about this. I know basically NOTHING about how to add stuff to Hassio
Hey db, can I call you db? Anyways, I put this together and when I load it up it seemed like it was running slow and would freeze up. Is there anyway to fix this?
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that maybe there's something wrong with your micro SD card? If it has a slow read/write speed, that might also have an impact.
@@DBTechYT ok thank you, I will try another card.
Hello, How can watch from internet my raspberry with MotionEye? I open the port 8081 in mi router but I can't watch the camera?your help. Thankyou
You have to forward that port from your modem and router to your Raspberry Pi. Then you should be able to access the stream by going to the IP address from your ISP. If you don't know what it is, go to ipchicken.com
@@DBTechYT, I know mi public IP , my private ip is 192.168.1... i put this in my router. but i donn´t know the public ip's raspberry. ;(

what's up with Google in the http? can you change that or leave it blank to avoid having any connections to any companies?
I guess I don't follow your question. Google where with what http?
Can this also work for Raspberry Pi 4?
You should be able to find the answer to that in the documentation or the downloads section of the site in the link
Hi, I’ve followed your tutorial on my RPI4 and I’m getting an error when I boot: failed (brcfmac) it also says Wireless: no-link then tried to connect via wired connection and fails due to it not being plugged in. Can you help me please?

@@cesaraliaga6894 yes I did. Install raspion OS and copy the internet file from inside and paste it into the MotioneyeOS.
