BlueUDMotion 🎥 🐈 🐕

Blue Motion is a simple dashboard front-end for Motion using the free Community Edition of PowerShell Universal Dashboard from Ironman Software

Features

1. Most of the basic Motion Web UI presented on a Dashboard - including the Live View and snapshot and motion detection controls.
2. Preview "Gallery" of captured images with "easy download"

Setup

This setup assumes a Windows Machine running UD and a file share, and a Raspberry Pi running a basic Motion configuration...

1. Setup a Windows File Share on your Universal Dashboard Sever - Motion will deliver output to this folder and Universal Dashboard will publish this folder to the web interface.
2. Setup PowerShell Universal Dashboard
3. Mount the Share on Raspbian

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /mtn/MotionPics
sudo mount -t cifs //YOURUDSERVER/Share/BlueUD /mnt/Motion -o user=username,pass=password,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777

4. Raspbian Setup: (More Detailed Steps Soon...)
   • Ensure the Camera is Enabled.
   • Install Motion
   • Configure Motion

     sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf

5. Run the UD Dashboard
6. Do some test Shots
7. Capture picture of your cats!

Note

This project was created to help me figure out which cat was taking a dump in my basement - Motion is great software please support that project and do cool things with it!
