RPi Cam Web Interface

[spex357]

In my last post I'd left Pi out filming after a stop start and don't reboot attempt. I powered it down late that evening, my video's and pictures luckily downloaded in my Pc 's browser. Sunday morning re-power just to check that I wasn't leaving anything behind before formatting. I spent the rest of Sunday trying to rescue my week old sd card, now formatted but won't accept files.
Luckily I have other cards, installed pi-pan, rebooted, same old, raspi, sudo apt-get and finished it off with ./install, Rpi- error re-start etc on reboot, raspi enable camera, camera enabled on reboot, but no buttons, chmod, buttons now work.
Installed Pipe, redirected Servoblaster files, reboot, no direction buttons working, started Crome, pipan.pipe in the list, re-installed pi-pan, rebooted, checked Servoblaster, no feed on Gpio's, renamed servo_off to servo_on in /html, opened Pipan.pipe to find it had no contents, yes pipan.pipe had no contents, hence the buttons didn't work. reboot, no buttons, open pipan.pipe and re-direct it
Reboot, now the camera is steerable on an iphone and ipad by touch (I've never had that working before), just need to remember where I can set the minimum movement down to 1 and I'd call that a super install. Well done, impressed as usual.

I have my cams in motion state. Once in a while it will 'freeze' during recording. The web interface doesn't freeze, just the preview image (and no further recordings take place). The preview page after reboot always has that last recording in "Busy" state. I can reboot through the web interface. What service can I restart instead of rebooting the pi? Also can there be a check, when the preview is not being updated to restart that service automatically? This has been an issue on all versions.

Also what service/script do you use to keep the disc from becoming full?

Great project, keep up the good work!

The main background service is raspimjpeg. There are actually 2 copies of this running with one acting as a monitor / restart in case the first dies. There is also a check for the preview image not updating in the watchdog interval which should trigger a restart.

The raspimjpeg process can best be restarted via the stop.sh and start.sh scripts in the install folder.

The scheduler has settings to do purging and maintain the disk capacity. I haven't manually deleted images from one of my cameras in over a year.

Hey guys. Don´t know if this has been asked before, but is it possible to sync the video-stream to an audio device?

I have a daffodil usb soundcard attached (configured and working) with a microphone and would like to have constant audio in my stream.

Hi there. I am hoping somebody can help me clarify an error I get when I set

Code: Select all

netcam_keepalive on

in the motion configuration file. It looks like it is having trouble reading or converting the jpeg image from the stream?

Before you read through this, here are the questions I am trying to answer:

• Why does

  Code: Select all

  netcam_keepalive on

  cause this error (which stops motion from ever getting any image data)?

• Should I not be using keepalive for the connection?

Thanks for your time!

netcam_keepalive on

Hello all,

Before I ask my question, this is an awesome piece of code. Great project! Kudos to the devs.

Also I am a total NOOB and my following question might be stupid but please excuse me.

My question is that, to detect the motion, why isnt a Motion Sensor (PIR) being used? That would detect all the movements rights?

[btidey]

Hey guys. Don´t know if this has been asked before, but is it possible to sync the video-stream to an audio device?

I have a daffodil usb soundcard attached (configured and working) with a microphone and would like to have constant audio in my stream.

There is no built in audio support as such. However, some users have used the macros to trigger a simultaneous recording when a video capture starts and then 'box' the audio during conversion to mp4.

There is a difficulty in getting good sync particularly if the video buffer is used to get pre-trigger capture as the amount of time in the buffer can vary.

[btidey]

Hi there. I am hoping somebody can help me clarify an error I get when I set

Code: Select all

netcam_keepalive on

in the motion configuration file. It looks like it is having trouble reading or converting the jpeg image from the stream?

This doesn't look like RPi Cam stuff. I think you may have posted your question in the wrong forum.

Some users have used a PIR to trigger captures. This is fairly easy to do with a bit of python.

The reasons for using the camera / analysis to do the baseline motion detection are
no extra sensor needed
range of detection
masking of areas to focus detection on where it is needed
flexibility in tweaking detection parameters to suit purpose

Installation script issues

Hi,

I've been using raspimjpeg on 6 different pi's for more than a year now, and i was very very happy about it. However, with the recent changes to the installation script(s) I'm facing severe issues, and today it completely killed one of my pi's so that i need to reinstall it from scratch. What exactly is the recommended installation procedure / base OS ?

The issues I had was:

- Update failing with some weird message i should commit my changes first (i didnt do any changes) - This happened several times, usually i just removed the raspimjpeg installation with the install script and reinstalled, worked fine after

- Recently completely inconsistent behaviour of the install script. On the same pi running wheezy i did a install followed by an uninstall and a deletion of the git directory. The first time it was installed into subfolder html, the second time it was installed into the root www directory

- Today the installation script tried to do a chown www-data:www-data of my media directory (why is it doing this at all ?), but due to some errors somewhere it did this on / instead, and now not only my pi itself but also some mounted network drives have severe ownership issues... This was on a pi running jessie.

Due to these issues recently i took a look at pikrellcam, so far it looks good. Thus i will do a fresh install of both, and go on with whatever runs more smooth now...

Followup to my previous message "Installation issues"

I just did a clean install of Jessie, and right after this i did the installation using install.sh (previously was using the "old" installation method). Configuration parameters suggested by the script was "html" for the subdirectory which i did not change, so i had raspimjpeg running from ~www-data/html/html.

Thus i removed raspimjpeg again using the "remove.sh" script, reinstalled it again, this time using "" as subdirectory. Now the web interface is working fine (directly in www-data root), but i have a new folder ~root/media/media where the media files are stored. Why was that folder created, especially as it seems still ~www-data/media is used for recordings and such ?

After this i started the update process for testing, using "update.sh", receiving a message "nothing to update" - But then got the configuration dialog followed by an error message "./install.sh: line 125: rpicamdirEsc: command not found" and a request to reboot although nothing was changed, not even installed packages - Why that ?

When you do a remove the script tries to preserve any media files that exist by moving them to your home directory. That is why the user media folder was created. It is not used operationally wen you install again. That is always under the /var/www tree.

When you do an update it first tries to fetch any files from the github repository then it runs install.sh. You got the message nothing to update as nothing had changed on github. It still runs the install.sh in case you wan to change something. If you just want to rerun the installer (to change parameters for example then you can just run install.sh direct.

I think the error you got on line 125 was caused by an extra space character in that script. I have corrected that now.

The reboot request is always done at the end of the script just a way of ensuring that all changes are applied OK including things like autostart. Actually most of the time you can just do a ./start.sh to start up at this point and avoid any reboot.

[Max1968]

OK, thanks - However as stated in my first comment above it did not only try to move existing media files (the folder ~www-data/media in my case is always empty as I move files immediately to a network share) to ~root/media/media, but also tried to change ownership of all files on my pi to www-data:www-data ("chown -R www-data:www-data /") - this should never happen. I guess some variable in the script that should contain the correct path was not set, and thus "/" was used.

Furthermore on the same jessie pi I installed from scratch now i tried to do a "update.sh", results below - I did not do any changes to the install.sh script, thus there seems to be an issue somewhere as well:

Can you please help?

Also is there a ready image to use? This would make it even easier...

Thank you !!



Edit:

Retried, I view a blank page when I enter the IP...

./start.sh shows message

motion: no process found

Then when I go to the web page, the rpi stops responding...


Edit:

Stupid power supply issues.
Amazing piece of software!!
Thank you!!

Hello,
How can you set the duration of the timelapse? it is recording for a predeined time or stopse when syou press timelapse stop?

[erwang01]

Hello,

Does anyone know what ./raspizip.sh does?

Thanks

Hello,

There is a setting for timelapse duration under camera settings on main page.You can also set it using the command 'tv n' where n is the duration in 0.1 sec units; e.g. tv 50 sets interval to 5 seconds.

Hello,

Does anyone know what ./raspizip.sh does?

Thanks

raspizip.sh is a shell script used by the web server for zipping files together for download.

Hello,

Last week I tried upgrading from 6.0.3 to 6.0.23 (the latest at that time.) I use a python script to change the annotation by appending the fifo file with an 'an' line, several times a second. This worked well in .3, but after the update it seems to interfere a lot with the system; very often annotation lines are mixed with 'ca 1 / ca 0' lines, so the motion is often not captured or it does not stop recording and obviously the annotation looks crap.

I have tried this with and without upgrading raspimjpeg (the whole system in fact), so I doubt the problem lies there. Is there a way to check if it is safe to write to the FIFO, or can the annotation be changed in another way? Perhaps a 2nd fifo to feed instructions to the RPI CWI system, so it can pass the instructions along without them colliding with the internal commands?

Thanks in advance,

Fj.

Are there any known issues related to the timelapse feature (unless I'm setting it up wrong)?
I have set on the scheduler to enable the timelapse from 8am to 8pm, at 1 frame per minute, but I only get 119 frames saved (2 hours, from 8 to 10am).

That would seem to imply that something in the period change at 10AM is stopping the time lapse. I am not aware of md 1 or ca commands doing that.

Check the scheduler log around the 10AM time period to see what the activity was. There should be the regular time lapse captures. Is there a time lapse stop there or does the time lapse just stop?

Strange, the log says it's keeping recording a frame every minute without issues.
I checked the storage, and the files are indeed there.
The problem seems to be here then?

The conversion seems to apply only to those 119 or 120 frames, leaving the remaining pictures orphaned.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to figure out how the brightness of my shot changes depending on the initial light levels when the camera is switched on. I've tried setting the shutter speed at "50000", exposure to "off", ISO to "100". It doesn't change throughout the shot which is good, but every time I switch the camera off and on again, the brightness of the shot is different.

How can I set it to never change?

[slabua]

Another strange thing is this: at some point after 10.00, I manually stopped and restarted the timelapse. It has now continued beyond the 16.00 slot, without interruption. The preview icon currently shows a total of 212 frames (up to the slot of 16.00, indeed).
I think for some reason, at each scheduler slot, something happens with the preview, or the naming of files, though, each image gets saved on disk as per scheduler log.

Hi there. I am hoping somebody can help me clarify an error I get when I set

Code: Select all

netcam_keepalive on

in the motion configuration file. It looks like it is having trouble reading or converting the jpeg image from the stream?

This doesn't look like RPi Cam stuff. I think you may have posted your question in the wrong forum.

You're probably right. Do you know of a good support forum for "motion?"

[ScheissSchiesser]

Can somebody help me figure out why my motionPars.json file is not getting populated with the motion settings? This causes me to be unable to view/change the motion settings via the web interface.

I am having trouble determining which part of the RPi-Cam-Web-Interface code is responsible for doing that. It is probably something in the motion.php file, but I am having trouble understanding it. It might help to debug this problem if I could figure that out.

As it stands now, motionPars.json is an empty file. Bringing up the motion.php page via clicking on the "motion settings" button shows a blank page (no table), presumably because the motionPars.json file contains no data.

Any help/hints would be appreciated.
