Calin Crisan created MotionEye around 2009! The software has been updated many time since then. And has now been renamed MotionEyeOS to prevent the miss association with the Raspberry PI and avoiding name confusions generated by all the projects built around motion.
The software is installed onto the SD card and then the device is powered on.
As soon as your motionEyeOS is ready it will listen on port 80 and present you a web user interface. To access it, enter the IP address of your board in the address bar of your browser. To find the address, connect to your router (most routers can display the addresses of all connected devices) and look for a device name beginning with "meye-". Alternatively, you can use a network scanner such as the free mobile app
