Problem using Web Cam with MotionEye

[mondo0815]

Hy all,

I try to use the generic Web Cam device in combination with a Raspi running the MotionEye video surveillance software. The webcam provies an MJEPG stream, when I start my browser (Chrome) with the local IP (eg. http://192.168.2.124) everything works fine. When I try to setup the generic webcam and I enter the IP I always get the error message: "The URL provided is not a valid web address."
The generated camera device does not show a picture.
I upgraded from v2.2.5 to v2.3.0, same behaviour.

Has anybody an idea whats wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

if you use the web Camera, then you must add the complete string.

http://IP:port/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?cmd=GetMJStream&usr=guest&pwd=guest

The Username and Pwd must be empty. You can use the IP-Adress from your cam and ignore the note.

You can find the string for you camera here: https://www.ispyconnect.com/sources.aspx
