MMM-MotionEye - surveillance video stream on your mirror!

[Snille]

Hi again, It would be cool to be able to hide the camera manually… For example visit another link… Say http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/1/hide
Right? :)

[Snille]

Fixed. Just sent you a PR. :)
Check it, I’m fairly new to Node.js so it may not be the best solution. :)

Hi @Snille

before i made a MM2, i started with a motion cam. It’s running now roundabout a half year outside from 30 ° to -20 ° C.

I tried to insert my IP and port, but it don’t’ run.

Any proposal to try a forensic research where to find the shitty error?

@Snille Had some comments. Fix those and I’ll merge it :)

@lolobyte First question: What motion software do you use?

[Snille]

@Cato Great! Thanks for fixing my mistakes. :)

@lolobyte You will have to install motionEyeOS or motionEye to use this module. Please read pre-requisites.

@Cato
Thank you for your answer.

I just tried MotionEyeOS before i went to Motion.
In my eyes it wasn’t configurable with my desired functionality.

I just hoped there is a possibility to implement foreign streams.

@lolobyte As long as the software can provide a “motion jpeg”-stream, it can be supported.

Basically, you can test it your selv by making a local .html-file with <img src="xxxxx" />
