![]() You can point octoprint at this IP address for video and snapshots. You can install the app called "IP Webcam" which turns the phone camera into a webcam. I'll also suggest trying it with an old phone you may have sitting in a drawer. There may be a way to have it only use snapshots and be okay though. Mine was up to like 50-60% all the time with one camera going, and it definitely affected octoprint and made the print all jittery because the serial wasn't keeping up. PS3 Eye webcam with standard lens removed and replaced with 1.25' telescope nose piece, with threaded IR filter : Actual test images pending - I need a clear night without other commitments. Its reported to use an OV7725 60fps 6um pixel VGA sensor and image processor from Omnivision. Unfortunately it will probably use up a lot of the Pi's processing power to sort through the videos. Heres another nice thread on using the PlayStation 3 Eye camera with a telescope. The video format that the ps eye and certain other usb cameras provide is different from the pi camera. I won't be the best to help you with the linux and installation issues, but wanted to give a quick word of warning after I got mine running the a ps eye camera.
