Yeah, so followed both this tutorial and the one where you did this with an EyeToy (along with the pre-reqs in the description) and I'm not able to get any sort of response when I try to go to the [given IP]:8765. I also see a ton of messages when I run the script being curled about being unable to find packages. Is there a certain repo I'm supposed to be adding?
QuickPi Hi, thanks for the awesome video. I’m having trouble viewing the camera once I leave the local network. I have other devices such as lights that work off the local network using an AppleTV 4k as a HomeKit hub, but the camera cannot be viewed unless connected to the local network. I’ve also tried using an iPad as a HomeKit hub and still run into the same issue (lights can be controlled remotely but the camera only works on the local network). Am I missing any steps? Do I need to set up any kind of port forwarding? Thanks in advance!
I havn't manage to make it work yet - also maybe due to the different versions of the different libraries. Everything seems to work, except that in the Apple Home Kit app the image from the camera is not shown. One first difference is that my camera within the MotionEye Web Interface is shown in the "Local V4l2 Camera" and not in the "Local MMAL Camera" drop-down menu. Is it really needed to have it in the "Local MMAL Camera" menu available, and if so how do I configure it to be shown in there? And in general how do I change the source of the camera that is used by CameraCore.js from HAP-NodeJS?
I know the video is a bit older now, but im getting an error during install of motioneye Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libavcodec-extra-57 E: Unable to locate package libavformat57 E: Unable to locate package libavresample2 E: Unable to locate package libavutil55 It never really completes anything after that it drops to the connect to motioneye at prompt and back to the terminal when I attempt to goto the "RBPip:8765" it gives me the page is not avalible Any ideas or suggestions
It looks like PIs are shipping with SSH disabled now by default which will stop you connecting to the PI remotely. It can be enabled easy in raspi-config right next to where you enable the camera. Ensure you change the standard passwords for your own security.
Worked well, mostly… I have one issue: The live video stream in Homekit only works when I'm on my home network. Once on cellular or other network I only get the still pictures. When I click to start the live feed it cannot connect to the camera...
@@christianfrei2791 WOndering how to add second camera myself. Raspberry Pi Camera has no mic, secondary camera is USB with mic. I have a USB mic but doesn't seem to do anything

Great tutorial Thanks. I successfully got the pi camera up and running on the home app, but after turning it all off and coming back to it, it wont show up on the app. its showing on motioneye and I've got HAP-NodeJS starting. Is there something Im missing?

is there any way to optimize the streaming quality ? im running motioneye on a pi zero w and i get about 0.5 fps. i already experimented with Resolution, Streaming quality and fps. Motioneyes quality is pretty good but the streaming in homekit is really poor.
That‘s great - thx... I installed homebridge on my pi. Is it possible to simply add the picam to this pi, install motioneye in parallel to homebridge and run it? Don‘t want to buy a second one ;)

Did you updated the CameraCore.js file? Would this also work with a USB Camera? Because i discovered the microphone Logo in your Home app while you were streaming. Is this exclusive for the RasPi Camera or also for a usb camera possible ? Im just wondering
Unfortunately changing the frame rate causes a huge drop in frame rate. It can be done, but the current resolution it’s set to puts the least load on the Pi while still giving a solid 30 FPS stream.
I followed the instructions but I can't connect to the MotionEye (IP:8765). When I check my network with Fing on my phone, the only service running is SSH. What have I missed?
QuickPi there was some issues but I couldn’t capture them all. I went through the whole process again and it looks ok now. Next question is, is this running HomeBridge as well as MotionEye? I have followed a few different videos and got HomeBridge running on another Pi and was hoping just to add this to that. This should save the Pi Zero from running MotionEye and HomeBridge.
Thanks for the tutorial, I have a problem, remote access doesn't work... As soon as I change from my home network to my celular one it shows "No Response"... All the other accessories work with the remote connection...
Awesome! Can I run this alongside hombridge on raspberry pi? Because I have to enter “homebridge” in terminal for homebridge to run so do I have 2 terminal windows open ? One with homebridge and one with this camera ? Or is there a way to always have homebridge running without command “homebridge” ?
Hi! Brilliant tutorial! Do you think there is a way to add like a switch on home app to start and stop the surveillance? I did years ago some RPI cams with other tutorials. It was the fun, but the cams where always on, which was ok for the cams who where outside the house. But in the house it can be good to turn off the cam. What do you think? Sorry formmy bad english... Damien
Everything is great, the only problem is when I go into the Home app on my iPhone it keeps telling me that the camera is not responding. Motioneye works and I had the home app working but when I closed terminal it stopped
i followed the tutorial got all the way to HAP-NodeJS starting but then when I go to add the camera into the home app it doesn't find it. I can see motioneye is running fine on my Pi's IP. Any help / pointers would be great as i'm not sure how to debug this.
Thanks for the setup script, worked nice! Is there any way to improve the resolution/quality of the live stream in homekit? It's very poor quality compared to still images / the local video feed.
my camera doesn't show in the home app when I run CameraCore.js I'm not getting any errors and hap-nodes installed fine. one thing to note is that I wiped my rasp pi camera (which was working fine with home) and reinstalled everything on a fresh os because I forgot the pi's password. any ideas here? thanks
I am running into the same problem. I have one RPi Zero W up and running on Apple Home App. However, I just setup another RPi Nano W and when I go to "Add Accessory" the new camera does NOT appear.

motioneye is not so good as Rpi-webcam-interface. the last one on pi zero works perfect. but motioneye can use more cameras at the same time, Rpi only onboard
I’ve heard that having a camera like this that has live streaming outside the network can compromise the network security. Does this setup have that same issue?
The only way this camera streams thru outside your network is only when you connect an Apple TV to your HomeKit setup. HomeKit utilizes a lot of encryption so this is very secure.
Hello I have couple of questions: 1. Do I need a mac to do this or it can work on Windows too? (with R-Pi obviously) 2. Can you see the camera live if you are away from home (so not connected to the same Wi Fi the Pi is connected to)?
Hey I've been watching your video and they are really great. Is it possible to trigger any GPIO pin of ESP8266 using python script on Raspberry Pi 3. If yes, please help. Thank you.
thaaank you for the answer!!! I have a problem connecting to the camera using safari. As soon as I try to connect to my ip:8765, I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I did it like twice and everything works fine, the cmd states "Camera connected to ip" but then I can't connect to it It clearly says "Connection refused", as the raspberry doesn't allow the connection. however, using the ssh I get in contact with raspberry
i reinstall-ed a fresh version of stretch, then i got the same error again.. so i reinstalled the fresh version of stretch yet again. But this time before i did your curl command, i did a sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade now its working! YAY! ok time to continue with your tutorial :)

Per-Erik Nordlund You have to have an Apple TV or stay at home iPad set up as a home hub to use anything remotely with HomeKit
Hi how do you use homekit without being on the same wifi as your raspberry ? Good vidéo tho
you are back! great!!!
If I wanted to run a multiple camera setup would I run the steps in your video on the camera hub pi or would I run it on each pi camera?
did you ever work out how to have multiple cameras running on the pi?
If you can make a video for multiple camera will be great.
