MMM-MotionEye - surveillance video stream on your mirror!

Snille

@Cato Nope, same thing. The header shows up, but no picture…

Cato

@Snille I don’t remember if “motion jpeg” is enabled by default in Motion Eye. Can you check your settings in Motion Eye? I’m at work now and have no change to check myself…

(Maybe it has another name)

Snille

@Cato There is not a specific “mjpeg” option as I can find. However on the “?” on the “Streaming URL” it says: “A URL that provides MJPEG stream of the camera” and that’s the URL I used…

Cato

@Snille Ok found the bug - update to 1.1.0 as instructed in README.md in GitHub.

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?

Cato

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

Cato

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

Snille

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

motion Version mmaltest, Copyright 2000-2005 Jeroen Vreeken/Folkert van Heusden/Kenneth Lavrsen

usage: motion [options]

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.

Cato

@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.

Cato

@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

Cato

@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).

reinstalled motioneye on my other r.pi and now im able to view a stream from http://MotionEyeOS:8081, but only from cam 1.
With http://MotionEyeOS:8081/motioneye/2 i still just get cam 1. Get the feeling im not understanding something.

		{
			module: 'MMM-MotionEye',
			position: 'lower_third',
			config: {
				url: "http://192.168.1.200:8081/motioneye/2",
				autoHide: false,
				debug: false
			}
		},

Hi @emos I’m also using different cameras from the same MotionEye install.
I have my cameras set on different ports like this.
http://MotionEyeOS:8081
http://MotionEyeOS:8082
http://MotionEyeOS:8083
I think that the default way…
Then you have the motiontrigger url like this in MotionEyeOS/Camera (for example):
http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/1
http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/2
http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/3

That’s it. :)

@Snille
My second camera is a remote camera, not a local one on my LAN.
Also http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/1 and http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/2 is the same livestream. changing from motioneye/1 to motioneye/2 does nothing.
