Clever use for those fake cams, those led mouldings are crazy, made me chuckle ;0) Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing you configure MotionEye, great software! Thanks
All the pi boards are hard to get right now, but I believe Pi Zero 2 is now out...so you might watch for that one. Also Banaba Pi might suit this purpose.
I have been looking into this project myself. I was wondering if you could have a pi 4 as the server and just add up camera's to motioneyeos. Do you think this possible?
James Burton you can either use cameras that do RTSP, MJPEG stream, and a couple of other types. Or you can add other cameras like I setup that are each running MotioneyeOS and run them from one interface. So, yes you can do that. But no motion detection in MotionEyeOS yet. I’m posting my final video later today on Shinobi, which does all that and more.
The issue I had in the past with rpi cameras is that resolution is very low so no face recognition or zoom in. So I was not able to get a real surveillance system out of a rpi. Maybe analog cameras with better resolution and an edge computer on the other end with a HD for 24/7 maybe a 32 cameras writing
Definitely, if you buy the cameras I have (5 MP, you'll only get 1920 x 1080 out of them, which, unless the subject if fairly close, facial recognition probably won't work. IF you buy better cameras, then I would imagine facial rec could work better. Of course cost goes up, and potentially the ability to use an rpi zero w may be out of the question.

Great video. I am new to RP. Looks like Pie Zero is no longer available. What's the best alternative?

Great video. Where's the link for part 2? A part 3 shows up!!!
This was the next video in the series, not sure if that's the one you saw already. th-cam.com/video/kDBrOIGud0I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=r35t7OiPyNKXJA3b

@@AwesomeOpenSource I'm sorry I meant to say having a pi 4 as a server and just adding ip camera's.
James Burton I think you can do it as long as they can do RTSP or MJPEG Streaming.
