If your webcam has IP or URL address to stream video output, MMM-RTSP… or some iFrame modules could work. -

If you can get an RTSP stream URL from your IP camera you can use my module: MMM-RTSPStream. Use the
develop
branch right now–and search this forum if you’re having issues getting it to work.If you want to stream your USB camera by hooking it up to the Pi, you can look at something like mjpg-streamer (Google ‘OctoPrint mjpg-streamer setup’ for some good guides) and then use MMM-iframe to show the image.

The default port is the same as the Mirror, 8080. Try adding
-p 8081
to your command to change the port. -

it works well but now i tried To start mjpg on boot in vain. I used the crontab but how To write it with the options?? -
@axel - Create a script with your command, name it something obvious like
startcam.sh
. Make it executable withchmod +x startcam.sh
and then use pm2 to autostart and maintain the script:pm2 start startcam.sh
When you’re satisfied with pm2’s handling, save the state:pm2 save
In the future, please use the markdown features of the board when posting code & logs.
