@tecno @tecno i think with you have installed monitor you mean motion can you post the config file you use for motion here

tecno

@siam

My bad yes it is Motion

motion.conf.txt camera1-dist.conf.txt

SIam

@tecno the first thing is did you add .txt now for posting here? If not then rename motion.conf.txt to motion.conf and restart motion

tecno

@siam
Yes I renamed to be able to post here as .conf is not allowed.

@tecno
so far i can only find one issue in the config but here is the question have you installed it to motion or to monitor ?

# Target base directory for pictures and films
# Recommended to use absolute path. (Default: current working directory)
target_dir /home/pi/Monitor

tecno

@siam

Just did run the install from terminal so it migt be done wrong . A bit confused as it biulds up with a lot of files that I do not need. Is it the survailance that pops in and register all video?

SIam

@tecno
find this line in your config and set it to off

# Use ffmpeg to encode videos of motion (default: off)
ffmpeg_output_movies on

If this is on Motion will save all recordings to sd card and after a few day's your sd card is full.
you can delete all .mkv videos from your sd-card in /home/pi/monitor

the config seems then to be good!

Then we are back on the problem When you open http://192.168.1.105:8081 in an external Browser you get the Live Video

and when you add http://192.168.1.105:8081/ in the Duet Settings and then go to webcam you got the error 404

what happens if you activate do not append extra http qualifier... in the duet webcam settings?
