It has a "Fast Network Camera" option which replaces the motion camera driver with streamEye and a Python program called raspimjpeg.py. This is a small operating system for the Pi which captures and streams mjpeg video from the RaspiCam. On the Pi Zero used for the external camera, I have installed streamEyeOS. But the external camera will just stream video, and this will be viewable on a remote laptop. The internal Pi will still record the number of times the entrance beam is broken, and will also capture video clips via motion. When the box entrance sensor turns on the power, both the internal and external Pi boards are powered up. One other notable aspect of Calin's work is that it is so well documented!įor the external camera which is pointing to the box entrance, I have decided not to use motion capture.

Calin's motionEye software generates a server web page which allows you to view the motion stream, adjust video & motion settings, and access saved media.īut as you will see shortly, motionEye also has a lot of application flexibility. While looking for ideas for the new Pi zero powered camera, which is to capture video from the outside of the box, I came across some work by Calin Crisan.Ĭalin has been busy working with Kenneth Lavrsen's "motion" software. In my last BirdBox2017 post I outlined my ideas for adding a second camera to my existing systems. I am going to use motionEye to stream and display video to a remote laptop.īut this has meant a lot of upgrading to the heart of (what was) my 2015 bird box. After a couple of weeks of investigation, procrastination and frustration, I think I have reached a decision.
