7 years ago Sorry @biejay, I didn't see your msg (perhaps because you didn't mention me?)
I have binary_sensors reflecting the motion detection of cams handled by MotionEye, but it's something 'hacky', I hope could be of any help. I notice that you're talking about a 'qf100' model, mine is a QF001, so I don't know if the URLs are the same.
But first things first:
MotionEye config for the ESCAM QF001 (thread-X.conf):

To obtain the user and password first I had to use the typical app to access these cams and configure it.
As you can see, I'm doing motion detection in MotionEye and publishing the changes in a binary_sensor.motioncam_salon in Home Assistant. It works seamlessly with on_event_start and on_event_end events. Problem is the current frontend of MotionEye don't show all of these fields, so these you have to edit manually, and if something is changed and saved in the frontend, you will need to re-write (I have a python script to check the config and do the changes automatically at reboot with a CRON task).
Home Assistant configuration:
When MotionEye is working, copy the snapshot URL for the escam, and append a generic camera in Home Assistant, like I do here:
# MOTIONEYE CAMERAS
camera:
# ESCAM QF001 cheap chinese cam (as still images - generic, or mjpeg stream)
- platform: generic
name: ESCAM QF001
still_image_url: [MOTIONEYE_URL]/picture/1/current/?_username=[MEYE_USER]&_signature=[MEYE_SIGNATURE_USER_CAM]About the multiple access and the ffmepg-binary-sensor
I think there are 2 streaming channels only, and one is lowRes. I only use one for MotionEye, and I can connect to the MotionEye stream (not the camera stream) from many devices simultaneously (don't know how many, but at least 2 or 3).
I hadn't got the time to try the new ffmepg-binary-sensor, so I can't help you there, but you could try my solution, using MotionEye motion detection. I have to say that in my config, MEye is running in a RPI2, analysing 2 video streams, and also runs a Home Assistant instance, but is a slave one. The master instance of the home automation (a RPI3) doesn't run Home Assistant (instead it has a PI Camera attached, but I'm not doing motion detection there yet)

Hey dude i can't get my Escam qf100 working. Neither with HASS nor motioneye. Could you pls send me your config url or what you choose to get it streaming?
thanks a lot!
EDIT: By now, i got the stream in my motioneye working. But now: Wtf, where is the streaming URL from Motioneye?:D I can't find any anywhere?! What do i have to write into the HASS Conf.?
EDIT: Next and hopefully last question: Could you connect multiple devices to the Qf100? For me, its always just one. So i would like to stream it via motioneye but also use the ffmepg-binary-sensor-motion in HASS. Because its seems faster for me. Is this possivle or how are you doing it?
