Multiple devices with a central server #803

Open Homer-Rivera opened 6 years ago

Homer-Rivera commented 6 years ago

I have setup my centos 7 server running motioned with motion complied. I have also setup my raspberry pi zero as a fast network camera using motioneyeos. I have added my raspberry pi zero as a camera to the motioneye running on my hub (centos7 box). The pi is configured as a fast network camera.

I wanted to know if the central server/hub can monitor the streams for motion and create the movies local to the hub. When I have added the remote camera I see no option to set a motion setting. Is that possible to have the central server/hub do all the motion processing?

Have you tried other camera types, not just fast network camera? I personally found the MotionEyeOS a bit too heavy on the little Pi 1 resources and created a simple stream with h264_v4l2_rtspserver, so all the motion detection happens on the server/hub side. There is however a small drawback to that, the framerate seems to be bit inconsistent, but that is all.
