## What it is
motionEye is a web-based frontend for the motion video surveillance daemon, providing a browser interface for configuring and viewing cameras with motion detection. It is written in Python and commonly deployed on Linux systems including Raspberry Pi.

## Use cases
- set up a home cctv system with a web interface
- monitor ip cameras from a browser
- configure motion detection recording on a raspberry pi
- view and manage multiple surveillance cameras in one dashboard
- get motion-triggered snapshots and video from webcams
- self-host a video surveillance server

## When to choose
- you use the motion daemon and want an easy web UI for it
- you want a lightweight self-hosted surveillance solution on Linux or a Raspberry Pi
- you need browser-based camera monitoring with motion detection

## When to avoid
- you need a full commercial NVR with cloud features
- you are not running Linux or cannot install the motion daemon
- you need native mobile apps rather than a web interface

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, video-processing, http-server, gui
