On my MKS Gen L / Raspberry PI / Octoprint setup that I used to use before turning to my Duet 2 wifi, I was able to connect a web cam to monitor my prints through the Octopi app. I have seen information from "It isn't possible" to "Its possible, but only still images" to it's possible if you run it through a raspberry pi. If anyone is running a camera with Duet, and would be willing to share their setup, I'd be grateful!!

I haven't yet done this as I'm probably going to figure out how to make use of my AruCam(s), but here is a setup that seems to have worked: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/90344

Brilliant! Thanks Dennis!

@bearcattd Since I last saw that post, others have also chimed in with other ideas that they put into practice.

@bearcattd, a quick search for "webcam" in the wiki will yield the page you should start with.

by the way that setup works with a continuous stream, not just a still image, with the live stream you need to set the URL without the "jpg" and enable the iframe feature in Duet Web Control

edit: i edited the original post to have a line saying how

Hey Frank! Thanks a lot for the post. I'm still kind of new to this, but does everything load onto the camera module or do I still need to use my PI? Also, would you be interested in sharing your mount for the camera? I have one of the hoses ordered from Amazon (along with the camera)!

Thanks!

I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero W with the Pi Camera. Using the software from here: https://elinux.org/RPi-Cam-Web-Interface

A URL that works in DWC is: raspberrypi.local/html
It also shows the controls for it below the video.

everything is loaded to the camera module, no raspberry pi required

attached is the 3D model of the mount

edit: I heat-shink wrapped the entire module before putting it in the 3D printed mount, other wise the design will seem over-sized

@frank26080115 Im using a raspberry pi running motioneyeos which boots up as a standalone camera surveillance operating system. You can view live streams, record video ,time lapse etc. The beauty with this one is that there is no operating system running in the background.

I think I am close...which board do I choose in Arduino? the ESP32 board file added 40-50 new boards.

Thanks!

M5Stack-Core-ESP32 works for me, there's no clear instructions on this so I guessed it, since M5Stack is the seller.
