Awesome Video!!! Appreciate all the hard work you do, always entertaining and informative. Have you looked into or used Tailscale for remote access? It was a game changer for all my remote Pi's, they can be on any network and I have access to them with a static IP address. No OpenVPN cert creation or anything. Truly amazing. I would be interested to see what projects you could come up with using it. Keep up the good work!

[@goport]

Good deed done nicely. And a happy ending. As an aside, my Official Pi camera V2 stopped working the second time I used it in anger. As a year had passed since I bought it, it was out of warranty. The only time I have felt shortchanged by RP foundation. All will be forgiven with the Pi 5 (or Pi 500) 😉

[@112Famine]

This would be perfect for car security, using the battery pack so it would be charging while you drive. If you used 2 Sony Night Vision 180 degree cameras mounted back to back, would give a 360 degree field of view when parked, or driving. And with MotionEye installed, you can have it alert you when hooligans are screwing with your car while parked (if you connected to your house wi-fi), & while driving you'll be able to show who was at fault if you end up in a fender bender. With your 3d printer you could redesign your cars reading/map light, or the dome light to house the battery pack, Pi, & the cameras.

[@GEHDunedin]

Do you find jawsper's version stable? I replaced a broken Pi Zero with the Zero2, and loaded jawsper's release on to it. Same config, same scripts as motioneyeos on the old Zero, but a lot more unstable: image tends to freeze after 10-20 seconds, or even drop out, whereas the older Zero was rock solid.

[@leepspvideo]

It seems to be good for me. I have lowered some of the settings to use less power

[@112Famine]

Anyone know, would the Raspberry Pi Zero 2/w running MotionEye OS be able to receive two Wyze cameras w/ the Dafang firmware installed via RTSP Protocol? Would the Pi4 be able to do it? I'd guess the Pi4 could handle more than two RTSP video feeds, right?

[@andrewgoss1682]

@@_D3adB0y_ not the alpha, the second one. It says something about adds wifi chipset support. What are you powering with? Do you have wpa_supplicant put on it? Check the log file if you can. If you have a WPA supplicant but the pi can't connect, it shuts off. I suspect that might be what's happening for you

[@_D3adB0y_]

@@andrewgoss1682 figured out my issue: my power brick was a piece of crap and not providing consistent power.

[@-someone-.]

The reason you couldn’t download the file was it was still recording. When there is a red border around the frame of the video playback, it means it’s recording. With the settings you had, any slight movement in frame due to wind will keep the pi recording. Only when it’s stopped can you download the video recorded. Experiment with the settings when you can 👍 I always use my pi zero on a power bank, live video is awful (very low frames), but anything that is recorded is awesome at 30fps.

[@-someone-.]

Also, there’s really no need to download the saved clips unless you’re gonna edit & upload it somewhere. Playback via the web browser is 100% perfect for checking, viewing playback. @leepspvideo

[@BilderbergCEO]

What resolution do you record at?

[@-someone-.]

@@BilderbergCEO 1280/720 or lower. You actually get a wider field of view (FOV) with lower settings, meaning I can see more when at 480, or 720 rather than 1080 which just seems to zoom in on the FOV. And 1080 uses way too much CPU. I’m now using a pi4b as the “main” device which streams 4 pi’s. (I just go to the pi address of that pi in a browser and have 4 cams to monitor😅) 3 running motion eye and the other just using RTSP coz it’s not compatible in the drop down menu. The pi4b doesn’t use more than 1gb of ram, but when it streams all 4 cams it gets really hot and CPU is close to 100%. I have the ice cooler tower, so it doesn’t get hotter than 40celcius Hope that extra info is useful. 👍

Finally! I've been all over on a bunch of sites asking and looking for MotioneyeOS that runs on my Pi0 2W. Great video. It sends an email when there is movement and also records videos on the pi itself. My issue is , is there a way for it to send a picture attached with the email????? Anyone!?

[@cjlowe1650]

Glad you liked my reply. You really don't know how long and how many bad installs I had to go thru before I came to your video. Since I tested it for 2 days with a CSI Pi camera I attached a USB camera. Probably 5 years and so far it runs like a charm. So now on a zero 2 W I'm actually running 2 cameras, thru WiFi, although I have a Ethernet adapter which I tested but since most of the Pi Zero models are not near a ethernet cable I wanted to test the distance. So far running on 2.4 WiFi 2 rooms away if works great. (Will try 5Ghz later on) As for another issue is the email notification supposed to send a image attachment? If not do you know how to do that. Also I setup a special gmail account for this so I don't junk up my normal account. I also setup a DROPBOX for it but I can't find any detailed instructions for sending the files to the Dropbox. I do a test, it says it works but I must be missing something. So any info on DROPBOX setup would be great. What I don't understand is I don't see a login space to enter on Motioneye for my DROPBOX account name so I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Maybe the Authorization key is what determines my account info. Any help from you or anyone else would be appreciated. Also I've been watching your videos for years and maybe commented here and there but I'm sure others and myself appreciate the heavy lifting you do for the rest of us. All the best and any help with DROPBOX would be appreciated.

Hi did you manage to install it?

Thanks, leepspvideo. I think I install Motion EYE on Raspberry Pi to rack my neighbours who are challenging me all the time. But this has be hidden carefully, since it is illegal. But since what my neighbours do is illegal, I don't care about their privacy rights. And then I will find an independent widness to go to the press against. But first I have to find when and what my neighours to and what time. And I hope Motion eye with Raspberry Pi will help me in doing so.😀

Dietpi OS is easier installation.

[@leepspvideo]

Are you just saying as an os or for video surveillance?

[@alexfernandesportrai]

@@leepspvideo Motioneye and Raspi cam install scripts are built into Dietpi OS. I installed Motioneye from Dietpi. You can have added funtionality to the same Pi zero 2W with other software, like I have also Pihole running on the same device.

auto expand/resize the partition when raspberry pi starts. # cat /tmp/rpi-boot/cmdline.txt console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=067e19d7-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet init=/usr/lib/raspi-config/init_resize.sh

Any excuse for toilet cam

[@leepspvideo]

I had the camera in there for the previous bird. I put a big sign on the door as we had a guest staying. 🤣

I'll have to remember the "I have birds in my walls" excuse if I ever get caught putting up cameras in sensitive places 👍

[@solodagci]

This is such dead project. Maintainers of Motion eye OS are a joke. They haven't updated single thing for more than 4 years. It doesn't support any modern Pi nor the newer camera versions.
