Installs camera in the toilet saying it is to capture when this bird turns up - is one conversation you don't want to be doing in public - but you managed to pull it off. 🤣
I use Motion Eye to watch my dog and my apartment while I'm away. I have set up writing to Google drive. In case of theft, the recording will always be there. Another thing was overclock the RPi 4 to 2147MHz. I'm shooting 30 frames 1024x768 and it looks very good.
This would be perfect for car security, using the battery pack so it would be charging while you drive. If you used 2 Sony Night Vision 180 degree cameras mounted back to back, would give a 360 degree field of view when parked, or driving. And with MotionEye installed, you can have it alert you when hooligans are screwing with your car while parked (if you connected to your house wi-fi), & while driving you'll be able to show who was at fault if you end up in a fender bender. With your 3d printer you could redesign your cars reading/map light, or the dome light to house the battery pack, Pi, & the cameras.
Good deed done nicely. And a happy ending. As an aside, my Official Pi camera V2 stopped working the second time I used it in anger. As a year had passed since I bought it, it was out of warranty. The only time I have felt shortchanged by RP foundation. All will be forgiven with the Pi 5 (or Pi 500) 😉
@@agentgroovington9700 I did try motion eye and the official OS plus a number of different Pis but nothing worked. It was a while ago when the Pi 2 W was released.
The reason you couldn’t download the file was it was still recording. When there is a red border around the frame of the video playback, it means it’s recording. With the settings you had, any slight movement in frame due to wind will keep the pi recording. Only when it’s stopped can you download the video recorded. Experiment with the settings when you can 👍 I always use my pi zero on a power bank, live video is awful (very low frames), but anything that is recorded is awesome at 30fps.
Also, there’s really no need to download the saved clips unless you’re gonna edit & upload it somewhere. Playback via the web browser is 100% perfect for checking, viewing playback. @leepspvideo
@@BilderbergCEO 1280/720 or lower. You actually get a wider field of view (FOV) with lower settings, meaning I can see more when at 480, or 720 rather than 1080 which just seems to zoom in on the FOV. And 1080 uses way too much CPU. I’m now using a pi4b as the “main” device which streams 4 pi’s. (I just go to the pi address of that pi in a browser and have 4 cams to monitor😅) 3 running motion eye and the other just using RTSP coz it’s not compatible in the drop down menu. The pi4b doesn’t use more than 1gb of ram, but when it streams all 4 cams it gets really hot and CPU is close to 100%. I have the ice cooler tower, so it doesn’t get hotter than 40celcius Hope that extra info is useful. 👍
spent several hours trying to get this to work. There is a new version of the OS on the github that adds support for the wifi chip on models other than version 1.5. Mine is a 1.6, that fixed it.
@@_D3adB0y_ not the alpha, the second one. It says something about adds wifi chipset support. What are you powering with? Do you have wpa_supplicant put on it? Check the log file if you can. If you have a WPA supplicant but the pi can't connect, it shuts off. I suspect that might be what's happening for you
Awesome Video!!! Appreciate all the hard work you do, always entertaining and informative. Have you looked into or used Tailscale for remote access? It was a game changer for all my remote Pi's, they can be on any network and I have access to them with a static IP address. No OpenVPN cert creation or anything. Truly amazing. I would be interested to see what projects you could come up with using it. Keep up the good work!

So now on a zero 2 W I'm actually running 2 cameras, thru WiFi, although I have a Ethernet adapter which I tested but since most of the Pi Zero models are not near a ethernet cable I wanted to test the distance. So far running on 2.4 WiFi 2 rooms away if works great. (Will try 5Ghz later on) As for another issue is the email notification supposed to send a image attachment? If not do you know how to do that. Also I setup a special gmail account for this so I don't junk up my normal account. I also setup a DROPBOX for it but I can't find any detailed instructions for sending the files to the Dropbox.

I bought it for £10.99 in oct 2020. 18w PD.
I found if ther is no network at boot gos into kernel panic.
If you boot with the network then if it drops the connection it still records.
Could you use pi zero 2W as a board for a nas ?
Yes
but the data speeds would be very low, just like the video download that had to be stopped,
also storage size would be limited.
Step one: Get a Rpi zero 2w.
2024: step 2.
Sounds about right.... Tesla’s free electricity coil should be available by the time a zero 2 is in stock🤣🤦♂️
I also want to live that dream mister Video
The first few seconds of this video, there is audio. Was the pi recording audio as well? How ?.?.?🙏
I recorded the bird sound separately.
MotionEyeOS doesn’t support audio.

I got the Raspberry Pi 4 B with 8GB ram. I have attached 3 HIK IP cameras and the cpu is running at 300%. I guess this is not normal. Anything I can do to fix this ?
Lower the resolution or frame rate
Hi, I tried this distro on a pi zero w, but here the loading stops at the rainbow screen. Is it incompatable with the zro w?
Try here
github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeos/releases
I already found out the newest version does not work on m1, but now I have attached an m2. This one starts loading but then panics on wpa_supplicant and wireless network, because there is no device. Ihave installed the correct wps_supplant on the 30 mb partition. I don´t have aclue
Can you connect to that camera from anywhere ? Or it just works for a local network.
I remotely access a Pi 4 from anywhere that connects to my motionEyeOS camera on the local network
th-cam.com/video/L6BXNsS9Rjk/w-d-xo.html
You can also set up the camera for full remote access from anywhere
@@leepspvideo Thank you. I want to start with RPi zero W 2 and the Noir camera.
I have a zero 2 W, this isn't working for me, the boot process on the screen starts to process the conf file and then says "no device" after the conf file result... and the wifi and lan interfaces too... also "no device". I know this is an older video put thought I'd ask anyway.
Is your Wi-Fi 2.4ghz?
Why use a Zero 2? wouldn't a regular zero work?
Yes, but the performance would be worse
The Pi zero is far more powerful. If you are happy with lower frame rates and resolution the original is fine.
I used to do exactly that. 2x Pi Zero as cameras, but have recently upgraded them to PiZero2W and there is a big difference in frame rates possible. I won't be going back!
All my projects on hold... Raspberry Pi dried up..
MotionEyeOS is somthing nobody wants to manage on Gethub, so finding a solid Image that works is a challenge. Raspberry Pi etech tool worked the best for me. everything else not so much... had to fix a few SD cards using MS disk management tool. ⏲ the whole process was real time eater. So going forward Pi zero 2w not for this project. save your money get a better pie.
auto expand/resize the partition when raspberry pi starts.

Anyone know, would the Raspberry Pi Zero 2/w running MotionEye OS be able to receive two Wyze cameras w/ the Dafang firmware installed via RTSP Protocol? Would the Pi4 be able to do it? I'd guess the Pi4 could handle more than two RTSP video feeds, right?
Is it possible to use it with the pi zero 2w with the cam v3
@@marioalbers887 I think previous comments suggest it’s not supported
Ii frogot that i whent to expert settings and turned off network watch .
Isn't MotionEyeOS has some very high vulnerability right noww?
Hi Lee.
Video looks good but i cannot get the wifi settings to work with my Raspberry Pi Zero 2w.
When i put the SDC into my Pi it tries to load but fails half way.
Starting wpa_supplicant: failed (brcmfmac).
Panic: rebooting 1n 10 seconds (caused by network)
I have tried everything.
I have watched your video loads of times.
Please can you help
Have you got a 2.4Ghz network? Try tethering to your phone
Hi Lee on my router i have both 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz.
There seems to be a lot of people with the same fault.
I cannot see it when i do a ip scan unless i hard wire it to my router.
@@leepspvideo Hi Lee did you get my email i sent.
@@STMONDEO1 yes, I would rather reply to comments as it helps the channel.
Did you try tethering? you would need to update the WiFi network and password
MotionEyeOS is no longer updated. I still use mine but haven’t needed to install it since the video as it works for me
@leepspvideo How would I update my wifi & password.
even if you have bank 10000mAh, considering 0.2A current consumption of Zero, it will only last for 2 days ;-)
I gave a try today to motioneye and Pi Zero and I am seriously astonished how bad Pi Zero is with camera and postprocessing - nothing really usable for i.e. security camera even at home ;-( I am not sure if Pi Zero 2 is any better but the old Zero is not capable of doing anything with that (and I tried with the latest version of motioneye)
💯
I got everything working on the raspi zero 2w but I get a grey screen . Do you have any idea what could it be?

I would use it through a Remote Desktop. That way you would have complete control better security and as many cameras as you like

@@leepspvideo like use anywhere on my pc or laptop then use this with my smartphone simcard network thats great idea
Consider using a VPN. You could install OpenVPN on another Pi (I used to do that until I replaced my router which does a better job of running it's own VPN).
18:15 Happy ending
Hi, nice video first of all but could not resolve the issue where the console just keeps saying configuring wired network: no device panic: rebooting in 10 seconds(caused by network). I dont want to connect via ethernet but through wifi itself, would be really happy if you can help me out
A bit more specifications:
Im using the pi zero 2 w
It says a few things in the console and few after the message and few before above but restarts again and again after a few second
The first time i tried it, it restarted after 10 seconds, then after rebooting it started after 20, after taking out the sd card and checking everything and starting it, it restarted after 30 second, so like it adds 10 seconds after every time it restarts, just told if it could be useful or worth noting.|
Thanks!
I haven’t set it up for over a year, mine still works on WiFi.

Video surveillance

how did a bird get there in the 1th place ????
We can’t work out how it keeps happening
@@leepspvideo , Not sure how they do things across the pond but in America walls are open at the top to allow airflow, if you can get above you can put some screen over the area to stop the birds from getting inside.Also suggest you build a bird house to give them a place to inhabit.

Are you just saying as an os or for video surveillance?

The new software won't enable camera funtion at all. not even an option. can't use any of the usual ways. so the dream of a cheap security camera is out the window. I will try with a Pi-3, 4, 5 and see what works best. Yeah, little more money however better than the off the shelf option. of the units I've tried none work very well if your using budget modals. and apps want all your information. phone# E-mail and still don't work very well.

I had the camera in there for the previous bird. I put a big sign on the door as we had a guest staying. 🤣
I'll have to remember the "I have birds in my walls" excuse if I ever get caught putting up cameras in sensitive places 👍
This is such dead project. Maintainers of Motion eye OS are a joke. They haven't updated single thing for more than 4 years. It doesn't support any modern Pi nor the newer camera versions.
