motioneye - Motion Eye Camera Utility

motioneye [COMMAND] [OPTIONS...]

This manual page documents briefly the motioneye command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

motioneye is a program that captures images and movies with Sony Vaio PictureBook Motion Eye camera. Motioneye requires the Motion Eye Camera Driver (kernel > 2.4.7) since it uses the private interface for accessing some extended parameters (camera sharpness, agc, video framerate), the shapshot and the mjpeg capture facilities. motioneye can capture ppm or jpg snapshots or mjpeg compressed video.
