This article describes the setup of the Raspberry Pi Camera with motion to take pictures on [1]motion.

Setup

Get package list

apt-get update

Update all packages

apt-get upgrade

Enable the camera

raspi-config

Then answer the following stupid questions ("really enable?" and "reboot now?"), and you're done.

Configuration

Now we've set up drivers, we need to verknuspel[2] the Raspi Cam with motion. That is a bit tricky, since motion does not support the Raspi Cam. But it supports webcams. So we need to convert our Raspi Cam into a webcam.

Make the Pi take pictures

Since /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ is the default CGI-directory...

  • create a folder named webcam:
cd /usr/lib/cgi-gbin
mkdir webcam
chown pi webcam
  • create this script named webcam.cgi::
#!/bin/bash
echo "Content-type: image/jpeg"
echo
raspistill -t 0 -w 1024 -h 768 -o -
  • Make it executable
chmod +x webcam.cgi

Get motion to check 'em

<TBD>


  1. guess what! :)
  2. yes, I just coined the term. I hope it will make it! More about verknuspel!
