This article explains how to build your DIY online cloud security camera with motiondetection and objectdetection on a Raspberry PI.
After these instructions you'll be able to manage your camera from https://Motiondetection.be

Material:

Raspberry PI
(This article was tested on: Raspberry PI3, Raspberry Zero W 1.1, Raspberry zero 1.3 with Ethernet USB, Raspberry PI2)
USB camera or Raspberry CSI Camera
Micro-SD card (4GB or more, class 10)
Micro-USB power
Create your (free) cloud plan & login
Optional:
- Ethernet/Wifi USB or ethernet cable
- Raspberry PI case

Run these commands in your terminal and follow the installation instructions:

sudo apt-get install git
cd /home/pi
sudo git clone https://motiondetection.org/motiondetection.be-Rpi.git
cd motiondetection.be-Rpi/
./motiondetection_installer.sh

Prepare the Raspberry Pi Micro-SD card:

Burn your Motiondetection.be Micro-SD card image:
- Install https://etcher.io to write the image to your micro-SD card
- Download our Motiondetection.be Raspberry Pi image.
- Download our Motiondetection.be Raspberry Pi image.
- Connect an SD card reader with the SD card inside.
- Open Etcher and select 'raspbian-stretch-lite-motiondetection.be.img.zip' from your hard drive.
- Open Etcher and select 'raspbian-buster-lite-motiondetection.org.img.zip' from your hard drive.
- Select the SD card you wish to write your image to.
- Click 'Flash!' to begin writing data to the SD card.

Configure your camera:

Insert your SD-card into your computer
Rename the configuration file motiondetection-config.txt.example into motiondetection-config.txt

Set your configuration as set in this example:

ssid="YOUR_WIFI_SSID"
ssid_password="YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD"
uploadUser="YOUR_Motiondetection.be_User"
uploadKey="Lookup your camera uploadKey"

Old configuration method:
- Power your Raspberry Pi surveillance cloud camera:
  - First boot may take up to 5 minutes with the Raspberry Pi Zero, wait while the system installs itself.
  - Connect to the Wifi accesspoint "motioncam" and password "motiondetection" with your smartphone.
  - Surf with your smartphone to webpage http://10.0.0.1 and login with the defaults:
    uploadUser: [empty] and Password: motiondetection
    - Set your camera network hostname
    - Set your private Motiondetection.be Login + uploadKey
      - Lookup your camera uploadKey
    - Connect your camera to your network:
      - Select your WIFI access point:
        
        Choose your Wifi SSID
        
        Set your WIFI password
    - Check "Reboot & apply configuration" & click "Save"

Build your Raspberry PI cloud camera:

Insert the SD-card into your Raspberry Pi.
Connect your Camera with the CSI port on the Raspberry Pi
Place your Raspberry pi into it's casing and close
Connect your USB Camera to the USB port of your Raspberry Pi

Your camera is ready:

Your camera is now ready to manage from https://Motiondetection.be/watch.php
- Watch & download your uploaded motions.
- Reboot, shutdown, update/upgrade your camera.
- Change cameras settings: resolution,name,detection speed, notification emails, Telegram notifications,...
- Install Motiondetection.be object-detection. (Detect persons, vehicles, animals,... )
- ...

Build your motiondetection.be Raspberry Pi - IP camera.
