Use USB webcam with MotionEye container


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've installed the MotionEye Docker container and attached the USB webcam to it via the extra parameters via:

--device=/dev/bus/usb/002/004

which shows up fine in the container.

But MotionEye fails to detect it as a webcam.
I've read around that a usb webcam is supposed to show up as an /dev/video* device, but it doesn't for me.

Is there any way to get this working without using a VM?

"lsusb" shows:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:0823 Logitech, Inc.

It's a Logitech C920 (I think). And it works totally fine on my Windows Desktop, so I can confirm it's not broken.
