This is mainly a rework of the webcamd service provided as part of OctoPi
As such it is licensed under GPL v3.0 to comply with the OctoPi license.
It has been tweaked to play nice with the Raspberry Pi OS image provided by Duet3D for use with the Duet 3 board in SBC mode.
cd DuetCam
sudo ./install.sh
Once installed there will be a config file located at /home/pi/.config/webcamd.txt
This file is near identical to the /boot/octopi.txt file provided for camera configuration with OctoPi.
It is very well documented so just follow the instructions provided in that file to update your stream config.
You can also setup multiple cameras on the same system by creating the folder /home/pi/.config/webcamd.conf.d/ and copying webcamd.txt into that folder. Any *.txt file in that folder will be used to configure another camera.
Note: This could cause performance issues with Duet Web Control, use at your own risk!
You can start/stop/restart the service with:
sudo systemctl start webcamd.service
sudo systemctl stop webcamd.service
sudo systemctl restart webcamd.service
If you change the config as described above, simply use the restart option to have those changes take effect.
Once the service is running, you should be able to go to http://<pi_ip_address>:8080/ and you will be presented with a test page containing both a still frame and a live mjpg stream. You can access these directly via:
http://<pi_ip_address>:8080/action=snapshot: A single frame captured at the time the image is requested. Refresh the image/page to capture a new image.http://<pi_ip_address>:8080/action=stream: A live mjpg formatted video stream from the camera. This can be embeded into any HTML page with nothing more than the<img>tag.
