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/

You can also contact us for a qoute for a handmade and pre-configured DIY Raspberry Pi Motiondetection.be camera.

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
• Download our Motiondetection.be Raspberry Pi image.
• Create your (free) cloud plan & login
• Optional:
  • Ethernet/Wifi USB or ethernet cable
  • Raspberry PI case

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.
• 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.
• 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.be-config.txt.example into motiondetection.be-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,... )
• ...
