Motion Eye Supported Cameras

[Rob Gor]

Looking for a complete list of supported cameras - can anyone help?

[blindeyeseesall]

It's going to be a long list.  Basically if the camera will work under whatever board you're using or if it's an IP camera has a stream address then it will work under MotionEye.  It worked with all the random cameras that I had around.

[Rob Gor]

What setting did you use to get the cameras working?

[blindeyeseesall]

There isn't any setting that I used to get any camera working...

For a USB camera I just plug it in and check that /dev/video0 exists meaning Raspian sees the device as a video device.  Then in motionEye I go to add camera:  Camera Type = Local V4L2 Camera and the Camera shows up in the drop down for Camera:.  Hit OK and that's it..

For IP cameras I choose Add Camera... : Camera Type "Network Camera".  In the URL I put the URL for the video stream (not the camera web interface) which you need to get from whatever camera's documentation.  A direct steam may not be supported by every IP camera.  Add the username and password and that's it.  It worked for the Panasonic and Foscam IP cameras I had.

[John Gammel]

What exact Panasonic and Foscam models are you using?

I also would really appreciate to know which already existing IP cameras models are hardware compatible with motioneye OS.

Some camera specific examples and installation tipps would be very useful too.

For IP (Ethernet or wireless cameras) I like the D-Link 5xxx series. The D-Link 5020 works very well for me with motionEyeOS. They can save directly to FTP, Directly email for motion, are fully PTZ with direct web access and a decent Android app, have ports set up for jpg and streaming outputs for motionEye or motionEyeOS to retrieve. I catch them on sale (or the newer 5030) for about $35-$50 and are a great value for PTZ cameras.
Nest, Arlo, WYZE, and others only seem to work with their services, some of which are paid services, but don't give you local control. 

I use a PIZeroW and the PiCamera for a stationary camera, and it works well. I am using a TIGA USB based (Box labeled Pilot) DashCam that mostly works, but the motionEyeOS drops the camera at random times, and only unplugging and re-plugging the camera resets it. Power off reboot doesn't reset it. It also happens on a Logitech USB WebCam, not as often.

I just bought two D-Link 5022 cameras. How do I get motioeye os installed and running on those?

I hope someone can give me some hints how to start?

I hope I did not misunderstood earlier postings here and in other threads in which some wrote with which cameras motioneye is working well.

I do not want to run a separate dedicated motioneye server but I am looking for IP-cameras (hardware) on which I can install motioneye os directly.

I know it is working with raspberry pi and other devices as written here:

https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Supported-Devices

My intention was to find IP-Cams on which I can install motioneye directly on the cam instead of the original system.

Really would appreciate your help, especially when installing on D-Link 5022 is possible - I would be happy for some hot-to-do help

Cheers,

Markus

MotioneyeOS can be installed on the devices you linked to: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Supported-Devices not directly to an IP cam.

After the install you can use it to monitor a couple video feeds from IP/USB cameras you have instead of logging into each camera separately.  You can also use it to turn a USB/other hardware connected camera into an IP cam.
