I didn’t use motioneye or motion last time as had problems with it supporting the type of cam I had, was the same with Cheese but webcamoid worked.
But also because you can use it on different platform I used Download Video Surveillance Software as for me " All our software is free for local use. For secured remote access see pricing." didn’t bother me.
I just needed something quick and set it up on a Intel Nuc but because I am a bit of a tensorflow fan I was a bit downhearted how archaic some of the detection routines compared to some of the amazing models that a radxa0 should be able to easily blitz.
MotionEye might of been fab when it was first released but it been relatively static since but that seemed true of a lot of the ready made apps and images when there are a load of great tutorials or ready made libs on pypi.
MotionEye OS is just a server build with the web part of MotionEye and the daemon part Motion installed.
Just install on on the Armbian lite version from @jack
pip3 install motioneye
The amazing advances in image detection would prob have me looking at a tensorflow-lite option and another one on my todo list one time. Then again many cheap web cams have socs embedded already doing much of it anyway.
There are some amazingly cheap 4k webcams ($20+) that likely you could pan to 1080p section with tensorflow.
The downside is usb2.0 max resolution is 1920x1080 images at 24fps and still don’t know if you can connect power direct to gpio and then use the usb3.0 for more bandwidth.
