Video under manjaro

Support
1

Hi; From this address https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/awesome-diy-security-camera-clients-linux/ None of the software mentioned works under manjaro. How to operate an IP camera under Linux?

I immediately knew motion because I have used it myself.
A quick search showed that zoneminder is also there.
I suspect the list goes on in this fashion.

this is just not true.

I wonder how long and where you looked to come to that conclusion.

A rather unspecific question.

Motion is in the repositories
 :point_down:

sudo pacman -S motion

The BlueCherry software is available from the AUR
 :point_down:

pamac build bluecherry-client-git

So is Kerberos.io
 :point_down:

pamac build kerberosio-web

Likewise Shinobi
 :point_down:

pamac build shinobi-git

Likewise MotionEye, and in two versions — one is the -git development version
 :point_down:

pamac build motioneye


 or
 :point_down:

pamac build motioneye-git

Likewise Xeoma
 :point_down:

pamac build xeoma-client-bin

Likewise ZoneMinder
 :point_down:

pamac build zoneminder

Now, you were saying
? :stuck_out_tongue:

just calling
motion
defaults to your local /dev/video0 - it appears you have a network connected camera
give it the address with the command

man motion

mariadb
needs a little bit of initialisation and configuring before it can be started/used - as far as I know

I have no idea what bluecherry-client is - but a client needs a server
whether your camera is one? no idea
