establish mesh (ad-hoc) network #88

hi dear first of all thank you for your software it is very robust and excellent. in motioneyeOS there is olsr package and it helps me to create wireless mesh network but how can i establish and manage mesh network? i am going to connect to motioneyeOS with my phone and tablet directly without AP. i have installed olsr on my android phone before.

yours

I'm sorry but support for ad-hoc networks is not something too many people would use. If you need to set up such a network connection, please use Raspbian with motionEye.

with batman-adv support, this would be really hand to build out a network of pi zero w boards that communicate directly with each otherf. unfortunately 802.11s won't work with that board, but other protocols will. I'm going to see if it is feasible to build an image that works...

A simple PiZero set as a AP/Hub, then have the rest connect as needed to it is easily doable. True mesh may not be as easy, but toss in a second wifi dongle on them and bingo, working. All with the current image.

I tend to agree that true mesh wouldn't be easy, but I am looking at a common security camera problem, a large number of cameras scattered over a fairly wide area, only some of which would be able to reach a hub. In my case, they are surrounding a house, and the walls block wifi on some of the sides of the building, and there is no one point that is reachable from everywhere. The same thing would also work really well for wildlife cameras in a forest (power is an issue, but solvable, those cameras already exist, after all) I am currently looking at building from source, then adding the correct bits to see if it works

Cool beans. I watch eagerly, as an alternative.
