Please help. Is it a bug or a feature?
My hub (HassOS + motionEye Add-on) canot see (red frame) when is camera (remote motionEyeOS camera based on Raspberry Zero) triggered.

I’m using the motioneye add-on with hass.io, using docker on a ubuntu server. I have two more drives that I’d like to save the recordings to that hass/motion eye cant see, is there anyway to add these in?

petestanley112 · January 5, 2020, 11:45pm

did you ever get this working i have the same problem now

petestanley112 · January 5, 2020, 11:57pm

yep i second this, i have a Ubuntu server on same network that serves my NFS and my audio visual. obviously seeing as it ZFS i would like the recordings to be saved here and not default location.

problem i have is it just wont connect. cant even ass NFS share to hass.io server as it wont see it

short of not using the plugin and just installing for my self I’m not sure what to do its a shame this plugin is just what i was looking for so would like to get it working.

getsmokes · January 6, 2020, 1:34pm

I attempted to mount the hard drives to inside the hass.io share but my linux skills are pretty poor and it didn’t work.

I think I may just install motioneye by itself.

uiguy · January 6, 2020, 8:51pm

Hi,

Does anyone know if I can expose a camera in motioneye addon (with ingress) to another instance of hassio on another network?

Many thanks for any assistance.

frenck · January 6, 2020, 9:41pm

Not via Ingress, you would have to open a port in the add-on Network settings.

uiguy · January 6, 2020, 9:57pm

Thanks! Will give that a go…

vijaykbhatia · January 7, 2020, 8:42pm

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on what settings they are using. I have 2 reolink 5mp cameras connected via RTMP (rtmp://192.168.1.***/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=***&password=*** ). I am running HA on a virtual machine with 2 cores, 4gb ram on a 2016 mac pro. The problem is just these 2 cameras are using up 100% of the resources constantly and I find this odd if others are able to run many more camera smoothly. I am wondering if I set up the reolink cameras settings incorrectly or motion eye. The Motion eye settings I am using are attached. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

uiguy · January 8, 2020, 2:21pm

are these H265 camera’s? If I run 2 HiWatch by Hikvision IPC-B140H on my raspberry pi 4 (4 cores 4GB RAM) then this basically maxes out the CPU… H264 and anything above will have lower bandwidth but will chew through your cpu…

This is exacly why I am looking to co-locate and deploy NVR across multiple instances…

vijaykbhatia · January 9, 2020, 12:23am

Hi Uiguy, The reolink cameras only transmit in H264 actually so not sure if this would make processing better or worse?

uiguy · January 9, 2020, 12:55am

H264 is lower processing than h265, but higher than mjpeg. I think your issue is with the 2 cores on your machine. Even a raspberry pi 3 has 4 cores, so try get your hands on something a little beefier as I dont think your current machine is strong enough. As a quick check, try switch encoding to mjpeg on the cameras (if available)

vijaykbhatia · January 9, 2020, 11:05am

Thanks for the tips, I changed the 264 profile to baseline and that helped significantly. I also allocated more ram.

uiguy · January 9, 2020, 11:48am

Hi,

Ram is not going to help, you need CPU… if you only need 2 (3 max) camera’s I would suggest you get yourself a Raspberry Pi 3 (or even better a Raspberry Pi 4)… They are quite cheap and you do not need to go for the biggest RAM model should you decide to go for the RPI 4…

Amything more than that Camera wise, and you will need to consider something with alot more CPU

I want to modify the docker command that is started by this add-on.

docker run ... --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri --privileged ...

How do I do this?

frenck · January 14, 2020, 10:09am

You can’t.

petestanley112 · January 14, 2020, 2:18pm

i did added it to my file server using docker. works perfectly now. Just need a bit if time to sort the web hooks out as a week of continuous recording on one 1080p cam is 1Tb not good!!!

i liked the plugin as it was all integrated into home assistant but im going to have to make do with live cctcv feeds rather than an interface.
