Web Camera That Works Nice With Duet Web Control?
-
Evening All.
I thought I'd ask what everyone is using for a camera to stream the live video through to the Duet web control?
I've had a look and can't seem to find a nice one, I do have a Wifi camera in my workshop but it uses a dedicated app to access and so I've not been able to get this to work within the web control nicely. Ideally I'd just like to find a half decent camera that streams via a URL on my own network and away I go.My old printer uses Octoprint so it was easy to conenct a USB camera and away you go.
Thanks.

Have a look at https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=2643#p24602 any Android phone should do if you have a surplus on e hanging around

I had a couple of old Raspberry Pi’s and cameras in my junk drawer, they work well.
I used this link for the firmware setup -

Thank you, yes I did have a go with your idea using my Note 4 and it did work. But as I don't have a half decent old Android device that's small enough it's not ideal so I was looking for another option that's smaller really.

Ah good call, I think I had seen using a Pi and camera but wanted to explore if there was another way around it. Will give the article a good read and give it a go.
I've ordered a ZeroW last night to try it and have a Pi camera here from my Octoprint install on the other printer which seemed to suit a Logitech camera better, so the Pi camera is sat on the shelf ready to try.Thanks all.

I ordered a Sance I21AG camera on the basis of a recommendation on this forum, but I haven't got round to trying it yet.

Hey David.
Ah that's interesting, I have a camera very similar in the office already, but to access it I need to login and use the dedicated app on my phone or pc.
While I could find out the IP address ok and the port, inputting that into the Web control parameters didn't allow me to access the camera. Also I couldn't see the ability to share the feed via IP only.
So I'm assuming it wasn't so useful. May have to have another look just to satisfy curiosity now.Please do keep me posted if you get yours running.

I've got this thing (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B017OWRDVU/) working quite well with my Web Control - it has the needed jpeg output and whatnot. The big downside - while you can adjust the settings for it (weirdly, DHCP is not enabled by default), it can only be done in IE with via an ActiveX plugin. It's also running from my 12V PSU, so no extra plugs needed.

I just got my Sannce I21AG camera working with DWC. See https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?pid=27304#p27304. It's available from Amazon UK here https://www.amazon.co.uk/SANNCE-Recording-1280x720P-Surveillance-Excellent/dp/B0178W8BFS?th=1.

PS - I just added a wiki page on adding a camera here https://duet3d.com/wiki/How_to_include_a_web_camera_image_in_Duet_Web_Control.

Evening mate.
Ah brilliant, thanks for your reply.
This is good to know, as I had looked at this style of camera as it has an ethernet connection.
If my planned Pi ZeroW doesn't play ball I may grab one of these.Ian

Brilliant thanks David. I'll give your instructions a go with my current wifi camera and let you know.
As even though it's not the same make, it looks almost identical, so I'm hoping the same steps may work.Ian

I revisited this project and implemented it using a Raspberry Pi Zero W(ireless)
You can get the whole hardware bundle of Pi, Camera and case.
It’s very small and can be setup without using keyboard mouse monitor by SSHing in and then running in headless mode.https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/octocam-pi-zero-w-project-kit

I just installed a raspberry pi & pi cam with the RPI-Cam-Web-interface. It works within the duet web interface. Through the interface you can start / stop recording make a timelapse and edit all camera settings.

Anyone using the Sannce I21AG may be interested in this alternative case and mount I've just uploaded to Thingiverse.
You will need to perform surgery on the camera - nothing major, only a small star screwdriver is required.

Don't forget to move the label onto the new housing if you do this so you can use the mobile app in the future.
Best of all, at the end of this you will have two nice stepper motors free for other projects!
