Very nice explanation. Used it to hook up my RPi Zero W to a Synology running Surveillance station. Added it as User defined - Streaming HTTP and works perfectly!
Yes you can do that too, you’ll just need a host Pi. So you set up another Pi Zero with MotionEyeOS as a host and it will receive the feeds from the other cameras, you then access this host to see a page with multiple feeds.
@@potatogamer5559 Yeah you can use docker to run motion eye on the PC and then connect however many zero pis you want to that PC with cameras connected to the pis
I am sorry guys, not a great technician or programmer, I'd like to surveil my house since when I'm away it is empty. Chinese cams are shady with data traffic and I do not have an hardware firewall, therefore I've just realized I could do something DIY with a Pi or an Arduino. All the points you made in this comment (the comment per se) are very interesting to me but I really am not that familiar with this kind of tech. Is there a possibility for you to elaborate or do you have sources I could learn from? I'd like to have multiple pi for surveillance, an host to gather feed (can an host be a camera too?) and I did not fully get the win10 part but might be useful (maybe it is intended not to have to use a browser page?). Other questions I have are: is there a way to implement motion alert, feed recording (sorta like dash cams: keep the last 5-10 min or keep recording while a motion is detected)? Maybe I am asking too much but I really do not know the limit of this "toys". Final question: I know it is a raspberry video but would you prefer an Arduino over the Pis or Pis are fine? Thanks so much to any kind souls for an eventual reply
How many frames per second do you get with this on the best quality settings? I've tried using a PI with USB webcam in the past and the frame rate was very poor.
The MotionEyeOS software automatically limits the framerate to 5fps so that it doesn't overload your networks bandwidth and allows slower Pis (like the Zero and Zero W) time to process. I assume that you can change this if you want to, but I haven't really looked too much into it. For a general security camera, 5fps seems to be fine for me.
Sadly MotionEyeOS has been untouched for two years, so it may be dead. It was apparently taken over by new maintainers but they haven't made any source code changes.
This is a very nicely done tutorial, Michael!! I've been looking for cameras "that I can trust," and this looks like a very interesting project. I have all the parts on the way including a second camera with better resolution and night vision to tinker with. Thanks for your very good work!! ~Frank
Cutting off power can corrupt the SD card if you don't remotely login and properly shutdown the system first. Usually you should get away with it but try to avoid just pulling the plug and hope for not too many power outages.

@@jjones503The issue with wordpad is it may add invisible characters that may trip up the software due to encoding. Much more likely to happen if you move your configuration file to linux.
instead of port forwarding on your router, you can use Cloudflare Tunnel without exposing your ports. It's free, you can also add your custom domain for free. there are other free services like Ngrok, but Cloudflare is more reliable and faster.
For those who aren't able to do port forwarding, look into running a cloudflare tunnel on a Linux vm or local machine that opens the camera inside your network to a custom domain without fussing with your router.
Hi, great video! Very informative, I had to use jawsper's version of the motioneyeos image due to having a raspberry pi zero 2 w with a cam rev1.3 instead, but it works great. But the problem is I'm making a dashcam and cannot have a wifi connected to the pi, so is it possible to use motioneyeos offline? Or even making its own wifi acess point would do, in fact make it more convenient. Would be glad if you could help me out!
Really like your video can you share the 3d printed part and the suction cup link, please. i need some help in mounting it to the glass window Thanks in advance
Am using this tutorial in 2023 and most of the steps are still relevant. Thanks for explaining clearly. Am using a USB camera and do you know how we can improve the video quality
as long as there werent any editing tricks, then this was way more responsive than my store bought security cameras. Mine take so long to connect that someone could already be in my house before the feed conencts
Also do you have a bootable image. I have tried to download the image several times from the site and it just does not boot no matter what. The light does not light up on the Pi Zero . The image i have is motioneyeos-raspberrypi-20200606 Yours seeemed to boot
This was a few years back, so unfortunately I don't have the boot image anymore. Which Pi Zero are you using for the project? Do you have another Pi that you could try and see if it boots up?
Hi there Ive followed step by step the tutorial, but when I turn on the Pi 2W, i get the 4 coloured rainbow screen. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
The Pi doesn't have any 5G connection capability, it would probably be easiest to connect it via. WiFi to a 5G router. It'll run off a power bank for a few hours.
I do not recommend this. The rpi zero w's wifi is abysmal and there should be a disclaimer by the rpi foundation that it does not work well. It just keeps disconnecting from my wifi.
@@MichaelKlements Mine is maybe 5 feet away. Where I'd want to mount it it'd be maybe 10-15ft away. I had issues in raspian running speedtests so its just dropping connection. I might try to get it stable in raspian and then use the motioneye package. Not the OS.
Yes definitely, there are loads of awesome Pi Zero cases on Thingyverse to 3D print. I got the Pi for $5 and the camera was around $10, the mount and power supply you can get from a dollar store, so probably around $20 per camera.
Man, I feel so stupid. I am a beginner and I have never been able to get my camera to work! This is basically one of so very many few videos that work with the Canakit Camera kit.

Thanks for the video. I am planning to mount it on the bow of a boat. Do you have any idea on how to make a waterproof case for the PiZero with an outgoing usb cable for power?
I'd try and find a suitable waterproof container and then adapt it to fit the Pi rather than trying to build a case for the Pi. Try finding a clear pelican case or food storage container with a nice flat side for the camera lens to peer through.
if you are looking to a project to keep you busy for a while, this isn't it. First step is to download the "full step by step written guide". I used a new 0w, modified the .conf file to match my router and flashed it to the card. I then put the card in the 0w and turned on the power. It loaded and started the 0w and the picture appeared. No VLC, no NOOB. NICE!! Thank You Michael
Hi Michael, what's your experience with MotionEye? It doesn't seem to be under development any more, and I'm struggling with reliability on RPi3b+ whereby the video freezes up (whilst the web UI carries on as normal) and it requires a reboot to get it going again. This seems to happen whenever I leave a browser open on the video stream for any length of time. I also found the motion detection feature to be completely (and utterly) useless. Do you know of any other IP camera softwares for the RPi?
I’ve only used the basic features of MotionEye, I haven’t really put a lot of time into it. How are you cooling your Pi? I’ve heard reports from others that continuous streaming causes the Pi’s temperature to rise and if you don’t have adequate cooling then this might result in it freezing up when it starts throttling.
@@MichaelKlements Thanks for responding, my pi has a fan and it doesn't completely lock-up, the web server and SSH connections both continue to work fine, just that the video freezes. It seems to happen when I leave a browser connected and walk away, when I wake my pc back up a while later the video is frozen and refreshing the page has no effect. If I subsequently grab a still it's from the point when the video stalled.
And that doesn't happen if you leave it running without the browser open and just open up browser windows when you want to check on it? It might be worth asking the question on Reddit, perhaps someone else has encountered this before.
@@MichaelKlements Yes indeed: if you don't watch the video it doesn't die! Just wondering if you or any of your subscribers had seen this behavior too?
Yeah that's strange. I haven't seen this issue come up here or on my blog before. The only freezing issue I'm aware of is one which is caused by the Pi overheating in the plastic case with no fan.
MotionEyeOS unfortunately doesn't support sound recording at the moment, but there are options to save the video footage to a network drive or to cloud storage services like Google Drive.
@@MichaelKlements Thanks for the rely. Do you (anyone chime in also) know of any projects that can stream audio with video on the Pi? Seriously, for years it's been a no brainer with most cameras in Windows. Is this an issue with Linux based systems? I really love the Pi. There are tons of projects recording and streaming video on the Pi but I can't find any doing Video and Audio together!!!! Any help would be appreciated.
It seems like it's not able to connect to your WiFi network, you've probably got an issue with the wpa supplicant file or the network details you've specified in it.
Bro where you didn't mention power supply connection. Can you tell me entire circuit diagram to stream live video to my laptop, I'm trying to do object(fire) detection on on this, a small part of my project?
The Pi Zero is powered through microUSB as usual. I'm not really sure what you mean by a circuit diagram, the camera is just plugged into the Pi's camera connector with the included ribbon cable.
thank you for your video great work Michael... Could this be used without internet as I would like to add this to my camper van project? but cant guarantee I have WIFI thanks again
It doesn't need WiFi, it just needs a network connection to be able to access the dashboard. So you can run a local WiFi network without any internet access for it.
Very goo job with the tutorial. I am having trouble (on Mac) with creating the wpa_supplicant.conf file. The file seems to always revert to .txt. Please let me know if you have any tips!
Thanks Matthew. Make sure that your mac is set to show file extensions (if usually isn't by default). You can then change the .txt to .conf. If you do this without extensions visible then it just becomes a .conf.txt file which remains a .txt file.
I liked this for being simple.... I want to install on back window of my trailer when towing and use to see cars behind when changing lanes..... Also backing up trailer.....
PLEASE do not port forward and expose your camera to the internet. This is extremely insecure and literally anyone can attempt to access your camera! You should privately expose your camera. Tailscale is one great way to achieve this
I have an odd question, is it possible to take apart a phone and use the camera from a disassembled samsung galaxy note 5? for example it's broken, but the camera module works fine. I know it's a higher pixel camera than most. just wondering if it would work
I'm sure you could salvage the camera module from the phone, the issue you'd most likely have is in finding a driver circuit for it. These camera generally don't have much circuitry on the actual camera module and rely on the phone's motherboard to "process" the signal. You'd probably have more luck trying to salvage the camera from an old laptop, these typically use a 4 wire USB interface already.
it looks like GLADOS :D

I have an odd question, is it possible to take apart a phone and use the camera from a disassembled samsung galaxy note 5? for example it's broken, but the camera module works fine. I know it's a higher pixel camera than most. just wondering if it would work
I'm sure you could salvage the camera module from the phone, the issue you'd most likely have is in finding a driver circuit for it. These camera generally don't have much circuitry on the actual camera module and rely on the phone's motherboard to "process" the signal. You'd probably have more luck trying to salvage the camera from an old laptop, these typically use a 4 wire USB interface already.
is it possible to not overwrite current OS on raspberry? I am hosting some stuff on my raspberry pi
You could probably install Docker and then install MotionEyeOS into a container.
Oom Mike, this is great thank you!
Can ı use raspberry pi 3b+ for this project ?
Yes, MotionEyeOS will run well on a Pi 3B+
