Raspberry Pi3 with a PS3 Eye Cam

Docker build for a base raspbian image with Motion streaming video libraries

This repo contains build files and instructions for a Docker image for Raspberry Pi3 (ARM), which will run the Motion libraries using a PS3 Eye cam on your Pi See Chris Barnes' instructions for reference

Initial setup:

Manual pre-setup steps:

• Connect a PS3 Eye camera to a USB port on your Raspberry Pi 3.
• Flash a raspbian-based image (we tested with the Horizon raspbian RPi3 image here)
• Power up your Pi3

You're done with pre-setup steps.

To pull a prebuilt docker image:

You might want to get started immediately from an existing docker image. Pull the container image from docker hub:

docker pull openhorizon/ps3eye-streamer-pi3:latest

(or) To build a docker image yourself:

This took about 15 mins on a Pi3... (longer if the Pi needs to download the resin.io image)

git clone https://github.com/open-horizon/cogwerx-ps3eye-streamer-pi3.git
cd cogwerx-ps3eye-streamer-pi3
docker build -t openhorizon/ps3eye-streamer-pi3 .

To run:

• You must run the container in "privileged" mode for docker to allow access to the PS3 Eye USB camera on /dev/video0.

docker run -it --rm --privileged -p 8080:8080 openhorizon/ps3eye-streamer-pi3 motion -n

Using a web browser, visit your Pi3's IP address followed by 8080 (e.g. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080) on your LAN. That's it! You should be able to see a streaming video image from your Pi.
