Make Security Cameras With motionEyeOS
GIVE A PERSON A CAMERA, and they’ll find a way to point it at other people. Most of the single-board computers that are popular at the moment have camera attachments, or can use a webcam through a USB port. MotionEyeOS is an operating system that does nothing but operate cameras, and it can be installed on a great many of these boards—we’re using a Raspberry Pi Zero W, but Banana Pi, NanoPi, ODROID, and Pine boards are all compatible.
MotionEyeOS is a lightweight way to run motionEye, the web interface that gathers together the feeds from connected cameras and displays them, running motion-detection routines and triggering recordings or stills when motion is detected. It can take feeds from connected cameras or network cameras, and multiple boards can work together as individual cameras or hubs.
