![]() ![]() Please refer to your manufacturer’s manual.ģ. Since all routers are different, I will not go into how to do this. Alternatively, you can find out the IP of the Pi by going to your router. ![]() You should now have the MotionEye OS interface up.Ģ.Go to your browser and add this to your browser bar e.g.You should see a computer names something like MP-E28D9CE5.If you’re using Windows, then simply go to network on the right-hand side in the File Explorer.First, we will need the IP or hostname, so we’re able to connect to the Pi. Once the Pi has booted you will need to do the following:ġ. Setting up the Raspberry Pi Security Camera So now go ahead and boot the Pi up and then we can move onto getting it set up correctly. We will need to communicate to the Pi over the network rather than directly as I have done in most of the previous tutorials. Now we’re ready for boot up, so insert the SD Card, an Ethernet cord, and the power cord. Once done you can safely remove your SD card from the computer. Confirm you have the correct details and click on Write.ĥ. Select the MotionEye OS img file and the drive letter your SD card is assigned (Eg. Now unzip the MotionEye OS img file so you can install it onto the Pi safely.ģ. G:/) and format Install the MotionEye OS Image onto the SD CardĢ. In SD Formatter, select the drive letter for your SD card (eg. Insert your SD card into the computer or laptop’s SD card reader and check the drive letter allocated to it, e.g. Follow the instructions to install the formatting software.Ĥ. Visit the SD Association’s website and download SD Formatter for either Windows or Mac.ģ. Download the MotionEye OS SD Card Image from the MotionEye OS GitHub repository.Ģ. I settled on using MotionEye OS as it seems to be an all in one solution for what I require and it also didn’t involve as much fiddling around to get it to work. To keep this tutorial pretty basic I am not going to go into a heavily customized camera enclosure. On a side note, if you want to install this into a more secure enclosure, there is some great equipment you can buy or even design to do this. The cable should now be locked in place, and we can now move onto the software. Make sure it is nicely lined up and then gently press back down on the connector. Now the connector is open insert the ribbon cable with the metal leads facing away from the Ethernet port. Secondly, we will need to install the camera (If you haven’t got one you can get one here), to do this go to the ribbon slot (the one directly behind the Ethernet port) using two fingers gently pull up on both sides of the connector. If you’re after for more information check out my Raspberry Pi camera guide for everything you need to know. You can find the regular camera here or the non-IR camera here. (Which is probably not much good for a security camera). In this tutorial, I use the regular IR camera, and it works fine however if it gets dark it can’t see at all. Installing the Raspberry Pi Cameraįirstly before we do anything, we need to have a Raspberry Pi camera.

With that said, it’s still an excellent way of building your own affordable camera network. So let’s get to it. Remember the Raspberry Pi isn’t a powerhouse, so performance will degrade if you try to do too much by adding too many high definition cameras. ![]() This project is a cost-effective way of getting a security camera up and running that you can view over the network and also have it, so it is motion activated. In this project, I am going to make a Raspberry Pi security camera simply using the standard Pi camera such as the one I used in the time-lapse tutorial. ![]()
