#### motionEye is a web frontend for the motion daemon, written in Python.

This snap ships with all required binaries included and will automatically
start the motionEye service listening on port 8765 after installation.
Just go to [http://[your\_ip]:8765/](http://%5Byour_ip%5D:8765/) with a web browser, log in to the UI and
start configuring your webcam for motion detection.

To get the full functionality please connect the camera, log-observe and
mount-observe interfaces using the snap connect command.

If installed on a Raspberry Pi for use with the CSI attached RPi Cam, make
sure to have "start\_x=1" and "gpu\_mem=128" (or higher) set in your config.txt
On an Ubuntu Core system you can achieve this via the two commands below:

```
 snap set system pi-config.start-x=1
 snap set system pi-config.gpu-mem=256
```

The motioneye.conf file can be found in /var/snap/motioneye/common/motioneye/

Recorded videos and captured photos are stored in
/var/snap/motioneye/common/media/

If you want to store photos and videos to external media (USB, SD card), please
connect the removable-media snap interface, then you can select a path under /media
via the administration interface.
