• fswebcam:
swebcam is the simplest and easiest way to ha"e your webcam capture singlerames, also programmatically at a speci/ed timer inter"al! 6 course it’s also
possible to call swebcam rom a bash script anytime it’s re*uired, but this is
another story!
$o install swebcam simply run%
0 apt'get install swebcam
6ne o the nice eatures o swebcam is that it’s possible to add a ooter to the
capture, where you can speciy your tet o choice!
#or instance, this is the command I ran swebcam with%

6kay, this wasn’t eactly streaming, so let’s get into more serious stuD!
• motion:
motion is a rather complete sur"eillance system with no ancy stuD and straight to
the point, yet "ery customiCable! @mong what it can do, it is capable o motion
detection, rame recording, "ideo recording, timelapse!
Its installation is as simple as usual%
0 apt'get install motion
It comes with a plain web con/guration interace, but /rst o all we need to speciy
which port motion will run on! (et’s now edit its con/guration /le%
0 nano 1etc1motion1motion!con
and look or the settings webcontrol2port Edeault 44F and stream2port Edeault 4+F,
which reers to the web con/guration interace and the streaming port, respecti"ely!
Ghange them as needed or simply get aware o their deault "alues!
$o start motion run%

Hou can now access to the web con/guration interace by pointing your browser to%
http%11RPI'IP%webcontrol2port
where RPI'IP is the local IP address o your RasPi and webcontrol2port is the same port
set in the con/g /le!
$hat said, it’s now possible to browse all the a"ailable settings!
)ome o them that are worth a mention are%
width and height% rame dimensions, camera dependent
ramerate% maimum number o rames to be captured per second
threshold% number o piels in the image that must change to trigger the motion
detection
*uality% compression le"el or rame captureDmpeg2timelapse% number o seconds between which to take a rame shoot or
timelapse recording
Dmpeg2bps% constant bitrate or "ideo encoding Eignored or timelapsesF
Dmpeg2"ariable2bitrate% "ariable bitrate or "ideo encoding Eusing a "ariable bitrate is
the only way to get decent timelapse "ideos, this setting is used or both "ideo
motion recording and timelapsesF
and o course the diDerent images1"ideo1timelapses paths where to sa"e the
captures to are among the settings you might want to customiCe!
@nother important eature o motion is that it’s possible to eecute any particular
command anytime an e"ent starts and1or a picture is captured, this is achie"ed bythe setting on2e"ent2start and on2picture2sa"e!
#or instance it’s possible to send an email and upload the sa"ed picture to an tp
ser"er by setting on2e"ent2start and on2picture2sa"e as ollows%

@nother streaming sotware that I tried was m&peg'streamer, which is not as eatures
complete as motion, but it is perect i you &ust need a "ideo stream! It also pro"ides
a web interace to display the stream! I couldn’t /nd a binary "ersion o m&peg'
streamer or arm processor, so I had to compile it mysel as ollows!
#irst oD we need m&pg'streamer source code rom O here and sa"e it in your
older o choice! I usually sa"e and etract the source packages under 1usr1local1src!
Position yoursel whiche"er older the archi"e has been sa"ed into, and etract the
archi"e with the command%
0 tar "C m&pg'streamer'r8Q!tar!gC
In order to compile m&pg'streamer, we need the lib&peg'de" libraries, so let’s install
them /rst%
0 apt'get install lib&peg'de"
I also needed to create a symbolic link o one header /le which, to me, resulted
missing%
0 ln 's 1usr1include1linu1"ideode"-!h 1usr1include1linu1"ideode"!h
Now e"erything should be set to proceed with the compilation process! )witch to
m&pg'streamer newly created older and compile it with%
0 cd m&pg'streamer'r8Q0 G#(@)3

Using the Raspberry Pi for camera surveillance using Motionand cloud storage

If you are looking for a cheap camera surveillance setup, the Raspberry Pi is a great solution.
It is small, easy to install and, most important, has low energy usage.

I own Model B see the Raspberry Pi !ikipedia page for detail about the models" which uses #.$
!atts.
%here are several open source motion detection applications for &inu' such as (oneMinder and
Motion.
Both programs are available through the Rasbian repository.
(oneMinder looks like a real security control center with all those nice cam screens, but it)s too
bloated and too *P+ heavy for the Raspberry Pi.
Motion is more lightweight and doesn)t stress the *P+ too much when processing #---
camera data.
!ith IP camera)s my average load is less than -.$- on my RasPi, which also serves as an
caching /0S server.
1or storage of the 23I video files which contain the captured motion frames, I use a free
Bo'.com account.
Bo'.com provides the same service as the popular /ropbo'.
%he reason for choosing Bo'.com is because /ropbo' has no open source client. %he /ropbo'
&inu' client is closed source and has, at the moment, no support for 2RM devices like the
Raspberry Pi.
1urthermore the free Bo'.com account gives you 4- 5B of free storage. !ay enough to store
home camera data for a couple of months.
Bo'1S is the weapon of choice to mount your Bo'.com account as a drive partition on your
Raspberry Pi.
Some basic &inu' knowledge is preferred.
Setting up BoxFS2
1irst, read the R62/M6 file on the Bo'1S site carefully for the needed dependencies
Install the needed libraries from the command prompt7
sudo apt'get install libml-'de" libuse'de" libcurl9'gnutls'de"
Besides some libraries from the Raspbian repository, you)ll also need libapp and lib8son.
5et the latest commits from bo'fs, libapp and lib8son7

git clone https%11github!com1drotiro1bos-!git
git clone https%11github!com1drotiro1libapp!git
git clone https%11github!com1"incenthC1lib&son!git
*ompile libapp first, then lib8son and bo'fs last using make and sudo make install .
2fter installing make sure you run the command ldconfig to update links to the libraries for the
operating system.
1orgetting this might give you some error messages about not found libraries.
%he Bo'1S binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin.
&reating a BoxFS2 config file
!ith the command boxfs-init you can create a config file for Bo'1S.%he configuration file will be placed in the directory .bo'fs.
9pen an editor and the configuration file would look something like this7

%he mountpoint #ust be provided in either way. %his can be an empty directory called /motion
for e'ample.
2lso check the user id uid" and the group id gid" of the user you are using.
=ou can check this in the passwd file which is located in /etc.
In my case I)m using user pi which has user id 4--- and group id 4---.
%o let Bo'fs run as a non>root user you have to add your user to the fuse group7
sudo gpasswd 'a use
If you won)t do this, the following error message will be shown7
use% ailed to open 1de"1use% Permission denied
2lso the e'ecute bit of the fusermount binary should be set7
sudo chmod 1bin1usermount
1orgetting this will cause mounting to fail with this error message7
use% ailed to eec usermount% Permission denied
'ounting your Boxco# account using BoxFS
%o start the Bo'1S client, simply run this command from the home directory of your Bo'.com
user7

%o check if everything is doing what it should be doing, go to your Bo'1S mount point and try to
create or copy some files.
1or debugging I recommend to be logged in to your Bo'.com account with your browser to see if
things are actually written in to the cloud storage.

%hanks, this looks like what I need. I)m planning on using an older android phone wifi only" as
a IP camera. I tried this setup with Goneminder but performance on the pi was very poor. I)m
goning to try a few more tweaks in before I give up and try motion instead. But this is good info
and I didn)t think of using bo'1S.

Cave you tried the possible solution in my previous replyD
In your bo'fs commandline you use the uid and gid of user pi while you want to write as user

1!I!, I)m having the 6'act same issues as Matolok. I)ve also tried and failed" all solutions
offered here. %he only thing I notice is that when Bo'1S is loaded, it)s root>only access.
I did a sloppy Nfi') of 8ust running a cron8ob to move files as they appear from where motion
outputs to the bo'fs directory which is working well enough. I)m a fan of .I.S.S. though, so it)s
slightly irritating.
%hanks for the blog entry, it has helped me.

I will do a revision of this blog entry soonish".
In the mean time Bo'1S has been updated to Bo'1S which uses a new 2PI and makes Bo'1S
version 4" useless any day now.
2s an alternative to Bo'1S, you can also try davfs. !ith davfs you also mount to your bo'.com
account using bo'.com)s /23 interface at https7

any luck with Pi 0oir D I would like to stack drift>scan images with this imager.
!ord has it one could use the raw format, and go beyond 4- seconds of imaging. 0ot sure if the
over 4-sec. treshold could be used but I do not plan high magnifications anyway.
