MMM-MotionEye - surveillance video stream on your mirror!

@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.

@emos you need to add it in to MotionEyeOS. So it knows about it. I have 3 cameras in the same way. You can add any “network-camera”.
rtsp://yourcam:port/whatever-format in the “add” dialog in MotionEyeOS. :)

@Snille
Camera is added to MotionEye
Under MotionEyeOS Settings>Video Device>Camera ID the ID is 1 and 2 :/

@emos Here is one of mine:

Only thing thats not identical is under video streaming > Useful URLs.
As you can see that under cam ID 2 (left one) is that streaming URL are missing… don’t know if this is a deal breaker or how to change it… :/

@emos Hmm… I wounder if it is because you use an http link? Can you try to change it to an rtsp link?

emos
