Post subject: | Working Motion + QuickCam Express + R5C7 |
The Newest version of R5C7 has motion installed and working.. So all you need to do is getting a working webcam. I choose the quickcam express, because i had one lying around.. Following the directions at
http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ 1. plugged in the camera 2. Code: #lsusb Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express Referencing the quickcam driver website, I was good to go 3. downloaded and installed the driver directions according to the website directions Code: #wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qce-ga/qc-usb-0.6.4.tar.gz #tar zxvf qc-usb-0.6.4.tar.gz #cd qc-usb-0.6.4/ #./quickcam.sh 4. Configuring and testing motion, ensuring the right video device was setup. In my case this was /dev/video2 Code: #nano /etc/motion/motion.conf Code: #/etc/init.d/motion start 5. Checking to make sure it was working, pointed my browser to my mythbox: Code: http://mythbox/motion/index.html 6. Ensured that everything was working, Code: #update-rc.d motion defaults 80 The only thing left to do is to ensure that the quickcam drivers are loaded on startup.. I hope this helps, prosonik |

I'm about to get quickcam express and i will definitely follow the instructions. Is the picture quality good enough or should i consider to buy some other webcam? |
