Motion Project Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Odroid C1 USB to IP for USB Camera

  I think the simplest way is to set up Motion in the Odroids, and set up a Zoneminder server to manage the streams, record to disk, provide a web interface, etc. Source: 7 months ago

• In search for a IP camera that works in LAN only and needs no access to the internet

  If you're comfortable fiddling with Linux on a Raspberry Pi, you can pretty easily set this up with a ribbon cam and software like Motion. Motion has a lot more options and features than you may need, but it's easy to set up as a barebones LAN-accessible IP camera. Source: 11 months ago

• I'm loving VLC as a simple IP camera viewer

  I use the motion server for Linux in order to stream the video over lan. Source: 12 months ago

• Are there any good cameras and server solutions for internal home surveillance?

  I'm using Motion Project, but the GUI isn't great. Source: 12 months ago

• Recommended Orange Pi for Self-Hosted Security Camera Server

  I currently run a few security cameras off of Raspberry Pi 400's. I have USB cameras connected to the Pi, which is running motion (https://motion-project.github.io/), yolov7 for object detection, and a few other scripts. Source: 12 months ago

• Aside from a web server, What services can I host on an old Raspberry Pi with 256mb Ram?

  Motion is really nice, if you have a camera on the Pi and need some sort of security camera. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to securely show web cam live stream 24/7 on website?

  In the past there used to be ffserver but it has long been retired. After that I often saw people use motion which is mainly a CCTV motion-detection and recording tool but includes a streaming server as a secondary feature. Source: over 1 year ago

• I have a quest 2. Is there any way to create my own 360 livestream?

  I'd look into kandao qoocams, maybe limit it to 180 3d/VR and just set it on a porch or something. Then use something like motion on linux to do the web server part, and obs to stream it to that. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to select hardware for my Project?

  Maybe try this project, check the features you like and try reimplementing them on some other hardware. Source: over 1 year ago

• Intrusion Detection using in-built Webcam

  We will be using Motion for motion detection. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Older Intel Nuc Projects

  Motion. With a webcam attached, this software detects movement - it can do all kinds of cool stuff, like run scripts, send emails, take a photo/video. It can also just chill and be an IP camera. Source: over 1 year ago

• Everything gray except motion?

  I have a similar issue with reolink Duo2 camera that I use with "Motion" https://motion-project.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Save JPG image from IP camera stream for timelapse

  Try using Motion. I use it to dump JPEGs to my disc from the stream my security camera provides, though I'm using the motion-detection functionality for which it's named so that it only saves images when something's happening. Though I'm pretty sure it can just dump images at chosen images. Source: over 1 year ago

• Linux as CCTV

  For me, the best CCTV recording software is Motion. It minimises unnecessary image saves by (if you want) only actually recording when it detects movement in the image. You can configure its sensitivity, so it only records when it's detected more than a given number of pixels changed between images and if you want it can save images immediately before and after the movement is detected.

• Camera for recording on my CNC?

  You can use zoneminder as a DVR with most IP cameras. motion is another option. ffmpeg can also be used to record streams from mjpeg streamer. If you do it on the same device that is running mjpg-streamer, you will be more immune to network glitches. You can also record directly from the same V4L2 device that mjpg-streamer is reading as long as only one program tries to control the camera at once. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is the best way to setup a live feed from my raspberry pi 3? I set the camera up to view my garden, now I’d like to be access the feed from my phone on any network

  You can also install "motion" under Raspberry Pi OS. I have done it several times, but the setup can be messy, particularly since all of the camera stuff changed between Raspbian Buster and Bullseye. Source: over 1 year ago

• More professional wire-free NVR systems

  Right now I'm thinking maybe a small form-factor PC with a large HDD (or multiple HDDs) running a lightweight Linux distro and motion (https://motion-project.github.io/) + motioneye (https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye) combined with AC-powered wifi IP cameras might be the way to go for me.

• Amazon Admits Giving Police Ring Footage Without Consent

  I tend to drop a link to Motion when such subjects arise. It's been a stalwart companion for years and is usually in Linux repositories. https://motion-project.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• ESP32 Cam with local video storage?

  Sure, I use (Motion)[https://motion-project.github.io/] to capture the stream from esp32. It also has a web console so you can watch the stream live. By default the recording is motion triggered but you can set it to continuous recording. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I need info on home security systems, please!

  It's actually pretty straightforward to cobble these things together if you want to. You can do it all with FOSS software. I built one some years back using Motion running on Debian on a Lenvo ThinkCentre, and a handful of IP cams. Source: about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Self-hosted open source IP security cameras?

  The camera are connected via ONVIF to a Raspberry running [motion](https://motion-project.github.io/). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
