USB Webcam and Motion add-on

First, post it to a site like http://stashbox.org if you need a place to host it at the moment. We will test it out, if it works well, we'll give you access to post in the community add-ons forum.

I have *finally* fathomed out the package stucture and the perl and javascript libs available (some more useful than others!).

My GSPCA add-on is built and tested, and the webcam add-on is being finalised now.
I will make them both available via my ftp site very soon.

My plan is to create a 3-camera add-on for "webcam" and "motion"...

I have ripped out all the fancy stuff I was trying out whilst learning about addons.

Find the GSPCA driver and a simple webcam image capture add-ins here:

http://www.readynas.talktalk.net/DUO/

I hope it works for you as well as it does for me!

More to come...

GjS

Other things you should mention are what firmware you tested it on (know it works on), minimum RAIDiator firmware required...

Also any other add-ons required to be installed for it to work and what hardware e.g. which usb webcam you tested it with and what range you expect to work. You can take a look at the Community Add-ons forum to see what information you should provide to help inform those who may wish to test your add-on.

Basic instructions on how to use, could also be useful.

The GSPCA add-in consists of two kernel modules, videodev.ko and gspca.ko.
Both have been built against Linux version 2.6.17.8 (RAIDiator 4.1.6 [1.00a043]).
Supported cameras are in the readme, accessible from the add-in.

The Webcam add-in consists of xawtv-plugins_3.94 and webcam_3.94.
An edittable index.html and .webcamrc are placed in /c/media/webcam.

There are no add-on dependencies.

Basic installation instructions are in the readme on the ftp site.

If and when I get access to post to the community add-in forum, I will add the instructions there :-)

GSPCA Version 1.00.20

Currently, the following cameras are supported by this driver:

Hi,

Can you clarify what this addon does please.

Does it allow a web cam attached to the ReadyNAS to be accessed from a web browser to display a live image?

If thats the case thats amazing!

Thanks.

Yes, thats right :-)

It does not support all webcams, but quite a lot as you can see.

The GSPCA add-in will create a /dev/video device that can be used by most camera applications, still or motion.
When you plug in your webcam, the add-on will show if it has recognised the camera.

The Webcam add-in is a simple add-in that has been set-up to capture an image every 5 seconds, and I have created a simple web page in /c/media/webcam to display the image.
You can modify the html as you see fit, and the webpage will be accesible via the address <your-ip-address>/webcam.

I use a dyndns account that redirects to my router (supports dyndns) .
My router then redirects a specified port to my readynas, and this allows me to view the page from, say, work.

I am thinking about creating a plugin for "motion", but that requires quite a lot of extra apps to be installed.

Sounds like a good idea, so I downloaded and installed, in accordance with your instructions. I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000, which isn't on the list, but I thought I'd try it anyway. Apps loaded OK, but cam not recognised. Any chance of producing a 'driver' for the Pro? Is it possible to set the cam to provide a feed during a certain time period, rather than on all the time - that would be truly useful.
Cheers

Sorry, but only the cams mentioned will work :-(

Its not my work, but that of another. You can google "GSPCA" for more info. I just got it all working and packaged up on the DUO.

Once you have a camera recognised, then you can do almost anything. I am looking at getting "motion" packaged up as an add-in.
It would not be difficult to specify a capture time period, just some sort of cron job (or something like that) to start/stop the webcam app.

Sorry, no can do with the Pro as I don't have one (yet).
