So long as you have enabled the toggle switch that you can see in the image below you will have a web server that you can access. This will also provide you with an IP Address that you can type into the URL of any internet browser on any locally connected device. With that IP Address (it will look like something like | http://172.17.0.1:8080 | ) typed and entered into the URL you will access the speed-cam web server. You may have to enter a username and password if it is your first time.
I am new to Raspberry Pi although I have now 2 Pi 4 Bās. Having gone through the tutorial 2x I have been able to pull up an operational speed camera menu box but cannot access the output via a web page. Using a Pi camera v2 camera, the camera is not seen in the Raspberry Pi Configuration interface choices but using sudo raspi-config I1 shows Legacy Camera enable and getting images with raspistill.
I have hours into this and willing to pay for support.
Looks like this thread has gone a bit quiet and a few folk with unresolved problems, somewhat discouraging. I have same issue as previous 2 posters. Pi4B 4GB, Buster and Pi HQ camera. Camera working tested with raspistill and webpage available locally which displays the webserver.txt file only. The speedcam is not recording anything (tested with a toy car on the workbench). Also , the ip address displayed in the menu item B is not the same as my pi address as seen on the router. If I try the ip address in the menu item B then there is no page displayed.
Has anyone had any issues with vehicles running through the frame too fast for the program to capture? Iām using Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 standard lens and RPI4.
sounds like you are capturing quite a significant speed there! Its possible that you may have it set up a bit close to where the vehicles are moving past, try and back the camera up a bit to see if that helps capture the object a bit better.
Hello,
i have tried and failed to get this to work. I have deployed Buster but it seems to upgrade to Bullseye. This lead me onto this page
this took a very long time, installs and i can import cv2 in python but i dont know how to access the webpage, not sure there is one.
I am not proficient in Linux but i need to get this working.
I have the same camera as in the video with the same lens and it is on a Pi4b.
i have realised my error, i have run your install steps but only get a ādefaultā webpage using the install procedure i posted for OpenCV and the speed camera you have done.
webserver.py
written by Claude Pageau
This is a stand alone web server.
Please Note
You will need at least one entry in a folder
before the web server will display content.
IMPORTANT: Use browser refresh to update files list
then select a list hyperlink.
Default config.py webserver settings are
WEB_PAGE_REFRESH_ON = True
WEB_PAGE_REFRESH_SEC = "900"
WEB_PAGE_BLANK_ON = False
If a folder is selected on the right pane listing
the folder contents will appear in existing browser tab.
Select the <BACK link on Right panel listing to
navigate back to previous folder. <BACK will not
be displayed when in web server root folder.
Use browser refresh button to update web page and
display most recent data.
This web server can display other types of content.
Web pages with javascript, css Etc will run.
If a folder has an index.html it will take over
the browser tab.
This browser can only access local raspberry pi
files. It cannot access internet web pages.

hello,
thank for the instructions, i have flashed the sd card with buster and run the install procedure how ever i still get the webpage with the text message as shown (webserver.txt)
It seems to me that there is no file being created to analyse. Have you started both services? the webserver and the speed_camera.py options detailed here at 4:27
Weāre deep in the weeds and at a limit of our expertise here - perhaps itās appropriate to raise a Github Issue on the original repo so the project creator can weigh in.
Hello,
I know what the problem is, I was gifted a pi but I investigated the amount of RAM it has and it only has 2GB. This is the problem, thank you for your time on this and when my 4GB version turns up I will test again.
Great guide and software. Iām after little help with my install.
Itās working well in general and detecting speeds with reasonable accuracy.
My issue is that the system seems to miss cars on occasion and its detection seems to top out at about 55mph. Weāre on a 40mpg road and looking to use this to gather evidence to support some changes to the road safety profile. Iām aware we can see cars doing anything up to 105mph from the last official monitoring.
Iām guessing the system is not generating enough data points to detect or the frame rate is too low.
I using a Pi4 2Gb with a PiNoir2 camera.
The config only detects when the Auto_motion_crop is on and with an Event_Count of 3 or 4.
Iāve pushed the legacy frame rate to 60 but no idea if this is even in effect.
Any sugestions to up detection and increase the upper detection speed threshold?
