Motioneye

Motioneye is a video surveillance program that offers motion detection.

I have this setup so that if motion is detected, recording occurs which is then stored for upto a month.

Dynamic File

As this is hosted on a different host to where Traefik is running, a dynamic file is required for it to be routed through Traefik and with SSL.

Cameras

Connected to MotionEye currently is a Dahua camera which overlooks the front of my house and my cars.

I also have a Reolink wifi camera which is being used internally as kind of a pet and toddler camera.

Future Plans

I do like Motioneye and have been using it for quite some time.
My future plans unfortunately don't include Motioneye. I will be getting more cameras (mainly external) and I plan on using BlueIris.

I have also been looking into Frigate with the use of a Coral TPU for object detection.
