"You can see my hand doing all sorts of not very exciting things." Your sense of humor is seconded only by your brilliance in the science of computing.
Wise decision.
I did this a while ago as part of my Engineering project and I made a remote controlled dustpan and brush with moving brush. And made a controller with a phone stand so I could see the video feed on the phone screen. I used an old HP webcam for it so obviously USB. And for power used a conventional power bank. Great video as always !
Wow! This is awesome. There's no reason why a few Pi's & Cameras couldn't replace a complete DVR CCTV system. Yet more food for thought Chris. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Spike or plentiful of $25 wifi hd cameras which do the same thing such as the wyzecam
Appreciate your input, I hadn't heard of the Wyzecam before, I'll look into it.
What Chris is presenting here is so interesting and exciting. He knows how to present a lot of knowledge with humor. I love Explaining Computers, I learn so much with fun here (sorry I can't understand 98 dislikes). The man is brilliant.
This made the configuration so easy. I wish I found this video a lot sooner. I have had a PI camera for several years but have been too busy to get it up and running. Excellent job with the demonstration and providing the links to the applications.
Glad it helped!
Thanks Chris you make it easy for people with little programming skills.
That was my intention here -- showing how most people can set up something this cool! :)
Enjoy every single video you share..are very interesting also enjoy your very clear to understand accent. Thanks 😁👍
TYVM, really liked Motion Eye had an XU 40 port in your video! Gosh I love your videos, first church, then play, thanks Chris!
So cool.....so many possibilities....as Rockwell once sang, "I always feel like somebody's watching me..."
Excellent as always Chris.
I like that your covering peripheral devices for SBC’s!
Let me just add one more tip - If you've got another Linux machine (could be Pi as well) laying around, you can install a Motion on it as well (even without webcam) and hook your every other Pi with camera and Motion Eye OS on it, so you'll end up with nice professional(ish) webcam surveillance system - accessible via web GUI and all of this can be putted onto some "spare" monitor to run 24/7.
Not sure if it has to be another Pi or not, but you can also enable hardware decoding on transfer, which lets the server process it for faster transfer and better quality.
It is basically the same like in video below, the difference is only that this guy is connecting all camera onto the machine running Motion Eye OS + one camera, instead of having a dedicated "surveillance server" for it ;)

That's great. I just done some googling and found motioneye runs on openwrt. I'm looking for an outdoor solution though. Wonder how difficult it would be to code basic motion tracking info a ptz camera with motioneye
Ive been using an older death adder mouse with one of my Pi3s and have not run into any issues. been using it for almost a year now.
@@FlameSoulis Please, rephrase a little bit, since I understand that Kujonek suggested a hierarchical approach and you suggested a tip to increase the speed of transfer (I guess between clients and master DVR) and the quality (I guess of the video) of the final result by decoding the video stream. I think decoding will increase the bit flow decreasing the speed. Won't it? Thank you
I am truly amazed about your creativity and the vast arguments of your interest! It must be "our" generation 😊
Two of my favorite things: ExplainingComputers and Sunday morning breakfast.
Agreed

Chris, This is the second video where while I've been breaking my head for days on something your video pops up giving me the complete answer. Thank you so so so much. Keep up the good work.
Glad I've helped out! :)
Thanks EC! Great demo, always informative and ever so professional!
yet another quality video, really interesting I haven't done anything with the cameras on the Pi
yet but I think I just might have to now as it looks like the possibilities could be endless from making a security cam for the home / boat to a wildlife cam in the garden .
Must admit looking forward to the video where you strap it onto the little robot maybe you could get it to stream through to your phone but whatever you do I'm certain it will be fantastic as always
Thanks Mark. :)
I Am brand new at this and I love this stuff I program 35 years ago in basic I'm looking forward to making my first door lock with my Raspberry Pi thank you sir
That's great software. I had written a python script that records 24 1-hour clips. After 24 hours it overwrites the files. I think I'm going to use MotionEyeOS instead. A lot more functionality. Again a great video. Thank you.
Thanks Nico! :)
Yours is easily the best motioneye video I seen(and I've seen them all). You are the only one that gives a few details about how the software works. And no one in motioneye world will answer a single question bout actually using the software. How did you learn? Did someone teach you?
I spent a lot of time delving into MotionEyeOS! :)
Wow 720p at 60fps. That's a lovely little camera. Love this great video.
Enjoy all your videos and I see you out and about whilst at work, hopefully I’ll get to say hello one day! Keep up the great videos
Do indeed say "Hello"! :)
Why did not yoututbe recommend this earlier? This is amazing! :D
I only resurrected my ZeroView PiZero running MotionEyeOS a couple of weeks ago using the NOIR camera. I need to get some motion triggered infra red LEDs working to take full advantage. MotioEyeOS has move on quite a bit since I last looked at it. There are even settings for masking out parts of the image where you DON'T want motion detection to trigger e.g. areas with swaying branches and bushes. There are even setting for it to "learn" which areas of motion to ignore!
Perfect video to watch whilst also working on a Pi camera project! Great video Chris!!
You save us all A LOT of time by selecting the best gadgets to show... now, obviously, I NEED another rpi to test this... big thanks!!
I love how you say "Devastator"
As usual Chris a great explanation of something most of us can set up and also use some of the older computers we might have put aside when upgrading. Especially since I turned an old Windows into a Linux system device. Thanks.
Great video as always.
The timelaps feature is also great.
And not to mention the options of saving to a external storage (NAS) or direct saving to Google drive / Dropbox.
Indeed -- motionEye is such great software.
Thank you for the detailed video on motionEyeOS. Other channels seem to enjoy skipping over setting up the software which could be the tricky part.
Beautiful, beautiful, amazing.
I'm impressed! And excited. New experiments on a horizon emerging! 😍
:)
I think Chris is blushing :D
He has every right to. 🙂
I compliment the work of a man who does this videos with a passion, loves to experiment with devices, has extensive knowledge, enjoys in the process and is willing to share all of this with a broad audience.
I have the same approach to my profession, hobbies and things I'm interested in so I can relate and I can recognize.
you have some neat real world videos. the hobby projects that I mess around with, the Io T, WiFi, Ethernet, video cameras and raspberry pi combos are the bench-marks. best regards :)
Surprisingly good camera
Yes, I was impressed! Properly adjusted, it can also do decent close shots.
Just got my Explaining Computers T-Shirt! It is really good quality and the print is clear and thick. I will wear it with pride!
Excellent! :)
Great video, after watching I went straight to download and got it working on my Raspberry 3 in no time!
Excellent! Great to hear.
Very good thing for those who really wants security and check anywhere..
That really is an impressive camera and MotionEyeOS is an impressive OS/App combo. Thanks.
It's worth noting that you can install motioneye as a program on pretty much anything running Linux including old computers. If you use the full OS (motioneye os) you have a much more stable system because it locks the main file system preventing corruption on power loss, but it means you can't install anything else on that device. If you install it separately (motioneye) you can use your device for other things at the same time. You can also add normal wifi/lan ip cameras to motioneye, USB cameras, or anything on your network that outputs MJPG, even other motioneye devices (say a pi zero with a camera and motioneye os). Having one central server and multiple camera devices is very powerful, Ive been using it for years and it's very very stable. Thank you for the great video.
Brilliant. I've been looking for an alternative to RpiCam, which doesn't connect to existing usb camera's.
The image is clean and sharp for such a little thing. You're video's are great to watch, easy to understand and to the point with no fluff.
I used RasPiCameraControl for this kind of thing. And that works well too.
But I will look at this too. Looks exciting. Thank you!
Every video you add are really useful and very detailed and so far I have done 3 pi projects from videos and this is going to be my fourth one 😁
Excellent!
Because I start it watching ur videos I bought me the raspberry pi 3 then I bouth me the 3+. I also bought me the camera so I hope this weekend I can install it. Thank u for teaching us.
Sounds like you've got the Pi bug! Enjoy the camera. :)
Very good indeed Chris. You just answered a question that has been on my mind for some time. I wanted to get a photographic record if some person(s) entered my room and did something nasty. Now all I have to do is to extend the battery life ( Simple, use a bigger battery, ) Make it communicate to a remote storage device in another room, ( Camouflage ), and get it to send text messages to my mobile. I don't know if MotionEyeOS has the capability but I shall find out. It occurs to me that this also is a great add on for your vehicle as well. Cheers.
Not sure about texts, but motionEyeOS can e-mail you; very easy to set up in the web interface.
Thanks, Chris. As usual, I am very favorably impressed with your coverage but your response as well. You are a true gentleman.
That is quite the shock! I never took you for the world domination type. Good luck with your killer robot. XD lol
This gent right here is why we can have nice things.
God bless his methodical soul.
everytime i see this guy i feel like the beatles are giving me a tutorial
Very interesting, I already tried it with an USB-Camera from 2007. Works fine!
Useful feedback, thanks for sharing here. :)
Thanks for the video ,great as usual ,had it working in no time
Oh boy! You've remembered your Devastator! I'll get mine dusted off.
I always get back to projects in the end. Hopefully you appreciate why this video had to come first! :)
Wow that's cool , I think I'll try making it !
Thanks Chris
Great presentation as always Chris! That software does look very nice, and it’s great to know that it will work with most any usb cameras.
Liked - excellent video, always look forward each week!
Very interesting video looking forward to the next project with the camera!:)
Nice nerdy tutorial! Thanks Chris!
Thanks for doing a very interesting project with Raspberry Pi. I am thinking about experimenting with nature cam to what critters are eating the vegetables in my wife's garden. As always, keep up the good work!
Tom M Try the Wyze Cam. It’s cheaper and has night vision.
Thanks for the suggestion. The Wyze cam looks like a good product. I was thinking this project would give me a reason to buy a Raspberry Model 3 and pi camera as well as justify the time to messing around with it :).
Just a quick update - I finally got around to building my version of the project. Although my wife's garden is finished for the season, we going use the project for watching and identifying the birds that come our bird feeder. Also, I going to experiment using a battery pack as the power source. Thanks again for wonderful and easy project!
Smart stuff 😊Chris you are always on the ball 👍
Well there we have it, a cheap and effective way to setup your own Home Security Camera system. Thank you for this video!
Chris.. you old dog you... as I have put in onter vids I used to build computers from the old tandy and comador to my latest creation.. But today the kids I taught have gone on to be masters with these things and I have kind of lost my edge... But with all of these new little boards ( I never knew we had them) I feel the old excitement again! Building little things and doing a bit of programing..this sounds so fun.. I am glad I found your site..
You are right -- SBCs are great for allowing us to tinker and making computing exciting again! :)
true I have always been a tinkerer.. thus my nickname" tink"... I am so excited about this I have been pokin' around deciding what to get and what to build first.. and binge watching all your videos so much new stuff to learn.. since computing was never my business I kind of back out of the programing end with flash.. my c, + and ++ worked just fine in command com.. that was all I needed.. and the nomenclature these days... egads!.. but that is part of the fun.. just like in those heady days of the "beginning".. I just hope at my age and with deteriorating mental abilities I am able to do this with only minor problems.. Well I have a step son that is a genius at this stuff..(if I can ever get him to slow down) thanks again Chris!
Excellent, clear explanation - as usual. ThankS!
Great channel and videos, funky groovy style.
Thank you for a very professional video tutorial!
Could come in quite handy.
I usually touch the central heating radiator, the pc case or the ground pin in my wall socket. Seems to work fine for years.
Stoney_Eagle where i live, there is so much mineral content in the water, i have bee zapped by static charges when washing my hands many times.
Great video, thank you, Christopher.
I'm finding that while using a 3B+ and a PI Infrared camera as well as a Logitech USB camera, I am constantly throttling the CPU with under voltage. I am feeding the unit with a 3A wall wart that's not a knockoff. I'm just not doing something right, apparently. I love your stuff however dry it may be. I'm just now subscribing if I'm honest.
great video as usual,thanks a lot man :)
great video! I see you seem to have overclocked the camera mounting screws a bit :)
you always know a good youtuber from a bad one. The bad ones ignore comments. Not our Chris
ok yes I know I am replying to my own comment BUT. As I have just found out, once a youtube channel gets very popular it gets harder to manage the comments section as every youtuber is responsible for their own section. So the more time it taken up by monitoring those comments meaning more work for Chris and longer time between uploads. I am not sure at what threshold a channel becomes 'difficult' to monitor. As much as I wish Chris every success, and we all know he deserves it, I selfishly hope the channel does not get too big. And that Chris gets time to answer comments and not monitor them all the time. As we know haters only comment to annoy. And are all named Mark. Full name being Skidmark. Hopefully we do not get many Skidmarks here .
The MotionEyeOS is great !!!! Thanks !!!!!!
A good application to test this software in the garden would be a bird table. You could even add features to recognize the type of bird and dispense food and also check the birds have water to drink in this hot wrather!
Bird recognition would be an interesting challenge! Cool idea.
In case anyone here is like me and thinks it is a good idea to just install motionEye on the Raspian as a separate software: Can't recommend that :s It took me two days to get it working. It is much easier with motionEyeOS. Thanks for the great video! This would have saved me a lot of time
Greetings! The new official camera of the Raspberry Pi Foundation (12.3-megapixel High Quality Camera) opens new horizons that will take us a lot of time to explore and develop! It's Christmas at the beginning of May!
Yes, the new camera looks really good -- and will work with MotionEyeOS. :)
Nice video, I have been using this software for over a year with 5 raspberrys, using 2 official camera, 2 clone versions and one logitech USB webcam
Great and useful feedback, thanks.
This is amazing, I was just thinking of a "Ring" like device for the front door but a local solution vs a monthly subscription service. Looks like this will do the trick with some additional software to send me an email / hangouts message... Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks. Note that motionEyeOS can send e-mail alerts when it detects motion. :)
This is amazing. Thank u for making this video
Great video. I'm now going to compare the results on my Pi3 and Odroid.
Odroid should win!
Another great video and uncanny how you seem to often choose subjects that I'm interested in. I've pondered purchase of a video surveillance system around our home, but I thought I'd rather do something myself. I have a few pi's so I'll probably get a couple cameras and see what I can come up with. BTW, my NextCloud server on Odroid HC1 works great for my DropBox replacement.
Thanks for this. Glad to hear your HCI setup worked out. :)
I've had a motion setup on one of my Pis with a HP HD720 camera. Motioneye is so much better, and can be installed in raspbian. The guide I found is out of date, but hey, I use Linux day to day and was able to modify. Took a bit of time to optimise the motion detection, and still trying to get the work schedule to work, but certainly better than motion by itself.
Nice video! I think it is more practical to use a USB camera than the picamera due to its placement flexibiltiy also as you said the static sensitive.
Very informative video indeed, might do something like this in my garden shed :)
Your videos are great! Would be great to have a tutorial for a cctv network
It is a very well presented OS. I use it with a USB webcam as a nest box camera. I have built several using the original Pi B, Pi 0W and the Pi 2B.
Very cool.
a cloud recording would be a nice touch
Another completely badass video
VERY VERY cool video to put together and thank you!
wow stable fps, btw with this, can we stream directly via youtube?
I'm not aware of a way that UA-cam streaming is supported.
Great! I would like to see a robot with RPI roaming around that garden😋😋 .
Just found this video of yours wow that is smart!
Thank Chris-excellent video. What sort of material do you make the base from, and would it be suitable for making an enclosure suitable for out door use? I was thinking of buying some acrylic sheets and welding them with epoxy glue-however I am concerned that they would be unable to take the heat (I have an ICE cooler to try to help)-any advice welcome
The bnase was plasticard; a modelling styrene sheet.
Excellent. Very interesting video and the os/software will have to try this out
Would be cool to also see a video about setting up an email alert set up with motioneye os.
This is easy to do in the web interface -- you just have to supply your e-mail credentials.
Worth trying with this setup is a timelapse of the sun coming up. much more convenient than getting up early. I assume this is possible with MotionEye, I'e only done it with Motion which is a bit challenging to set up. Need some more sd cards now to try this out
I must try this!
Christopher, when you started with your Linux adventure you were a bit sceptical with regard to whether or not you could get everything done which you used Windows for (video-editing for example). Did you have any clue how exciting the software in Linux is for anything you want to do with your computer except gaming? Video-editing, audio-recording, audio-editing, image-manipulation (Gimp/Krita), servers (that you probably knew), routers (pfSense), even your own surveilance system with a Raspberry Pi and a cheap camear. And even for gaming Linux doesn't suck anymore, though you do miss some of the best games, but you also get access to some of the best games and there are ways to run those Windows exclusive games in Linux without any performance loss (virtually in Windows though).
1st , great class today. I’ve been interested in this subject for a while
Gold Medal to you today! :)
Me as well
This is a brilliant and useful project 👍👍 thank you for the idea 😎
Hi Christopher, my name is Marcelo, I'm live in Brazil. I like so much your videos on UA-cam, thanks for share you knowlegment.
I want to know if MotionEyeOS is only surveillance camera or is possible install Python, for example, to develop others apllications? Thanks
MotionEye is a stand-alone program, but there are always possibilities . . .
Thanks Chris, this is pretty cost-effective 'filming your own garden' and you captured it with your raspberry pi3 so this sort of work is "honourable" well done. I HOPE I get to see more from you. 😊
Be neat to see this running on Raspberian - nice to hook up to siren/light/other sensors. Thanks for a really good explanation. BTW - did you check for any unexpected outbound traffic?
Great video, i am going to set one up myself, and try a few more options like remote stand alone storage.... Thanks
Looking forward to The devstator video!😆
Thank you for helping to do my first Raspberry pi project..
Great to hear -- and a great first project!
