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

[Snille]

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

Possible options:

-n Run in non-daemon mode.
-s Run in setup mode.
-c config Full path and filename of config file.
-d level Log level (1-9) (EMR, ALR, CRT, ERR, WRN, NTC, ERR, DBG, ALL). default: 6 / NTC.

Motion is configured using a config file only. If none is supplied,
it will read motion.conf from current directory, ~/.motion or /etc.

@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" />

For some reason i just get a “broken” picture icon, and if i try to open http://MotionEyeIP/motioneye/1 the site just says:

{"error": "not found"}

I have disable the password for the ‘Surveillance Username’ so no login is required.

I know the cam is available and motioneyos is working as normal. If i open http://192.168.1.200:8080/picture/1/current/ in my browser i can see the last snapshot, but not doing me any good…

Any suggestion?

{
	module: 'MMM-MotionEye',
	position: 'bottom_right',
	config: {
		url: "http://192.168.1.200:8080/motioneye/1",
		debug: false
		}
},

@emos hi, try changing the port (8080) in MM or camera , both MM and camera with 8080 will not work

@emos The URL you are using in your config seems to be the “web hook”-URL that you have to configure inside MotionEye if you want to automatically show video stream when motion is detected.

The URL should be configured like this (from documentation): Video Streaming URL. You find it in Motion Eye in the Video Streaming Section under Usefull URLs by by clicking the Streaming URL link. It should look something like this: http://motioneye:8081 (probably an IP instead of hostname).
