MotionEyeOS on Odroid C1+ with Logitech USB web cameras
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/11
Hopefully I get this to work after fixing
The first part of the fix was to
- re-image the SD card.
- boot
- wait 5 minutes (there is no output on HDMI apart from some flickering and no output on TTY using 115200 bits/second despite trying [WayBack] en:c1_hardware_uart [ODROID Wiki])
The second part is getting the USB web cameras to work.
I’ve got two types, but the label on them doesn’t list their common name, only their P/N sometimes with M/N:
- P/N 860-000049 M/N V-UBC40 (really old USB cameras)
- P/N 860-000334 (new USB camera)
The MotionEyeOS web interface didn’t list any working cameras so I had to do some digging.
Luckily [WayBack] Webcam software and driver support for Windows has a table of part and model numbers combined with product names, so they got revealed them as these:
- P/N 860-000334 = M/N V-U0028 with name HD Pro Webcam C920
- P/N 861225 = M/N V-UBC40 with name Quick Cam Messenger
(which is funny as the P/N on the label is different)
Both are supported by motion according to [WayBack] Logitech < Motion < Foswiki though the Quick Cam Messenger needs [WayBack] Quickcam Messenger & Communicate driver for Linux which I should try to cross-compile one day.
The latter works fine. Below are some settings I used.

Sometimes I get this in /var/log/messages:
v4l2_select_input: Error selecting input 0 VIDIOC_S_INPUT: Device or resource
It might be this: [WayBack] Unstable setup; delayed motion detection for netcams · Issue #72 · ccrisan/motioneyeos
