Security Camera Viewer

A mobile frontend for the Logitech Alert security cameras. Desigened to allow live viewing, recorded video, and motion alerts. Other cameras may work but are untested.

Instructions:

  • You first need a working Logitech Alert setup (other cameras currently unsupported)

    • Send motion alerts to a dedicated email address which the poller will check

  • Install prerequisites as needed

    • apt-get install ffmpeg vlc apache2 mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql php5 libapache2-mod-php5
    • Depending on your distribution you might have to add multimedia sources to apt or package distribution system

  • Download the files

    • git clone https://github.com/salbahra/Security-Camera-Viewer.git
    • mv camera-viewer/cameras /var/
    • mv camera-viewer/www/cameras /var/www/
    • mv camera-viewer/VLC-init /etc/init.d/

  • Fill in the MySQL information, Email information, and site information in config.php.

    • nano /var/www/cameras/config.php

  • Modify the feeds.vlm to transcode your videos and auto start VLC

    • nano /var/cameras/feeds.vlm
    • update-rc.d vlc defaults
    • /etc/init.d/vlc start

  • Add the poller to crontab every 5 minutes to ensure your database is up to date with new video clips and motion alerts:

    • */5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/cameras/poller.php >/dev/null 2>&1

  • Add a user to the configuration. There is no user management system yet, so this is done manually

    • First generate a hased version of your password
    • /usr/bin/php -r "echo base64_encode(sha1('PASSWORD'));"
    • Then add it to the htpasswd file
    • nano /var/cameras/htpasswd
    • Example:
    • username:ZGM3MjRhZjE4ZmJkZDRlNTkxODlmNWZlNzY4YTVmODMxMTUyNzA1MA==

  • From there you may attempt to access the front end.
