  • Step 1 - Download the burntool file 'BPi-D1 OS and burn tool v3.0' from http://www.banana-pi.org/d1-download.html - Unzip it to your PC in a dir of your choice.

  • Go to the just unzipped DIR and click on the file burntool.

    Click on the Burn Tool file and you should see this menu.

  • Now we are going to connect the BPI-D1 board and burn the image to your micro SD card I recommend you use at least 16GB class 10 SD card.

    - Insert the card in your BPI-D1

    - Holding the Function Key button connect it to the computer via the USB/Micro USB cable once connected give a second or two and release the button

    You should now see the Devie0 highlighted yellow on your Burn Tool menu.

    Click the Green Start Button on the top left, now the image will burn to the SDcard in your BPI-D1 board. Once its finished close the Burn Tool menu.

  • We are now ready to use the CAM,

    Connect the WIFI USB dongle to the USB OTG on your BPI-D1 and the USB power cable. Note the corrrect location of each on the picture below.

  • If everything is well, you will see the green LED blink for 5 seconds ,

    Give it about 20 seconds to boot-up and check your WIFI connections in your computer. You should see the 'Lamobo_D1_303510' as an access point

  • Connect to the Lamobo Access point, with the default password 12345678

    • Open a browser to the following URL http://192.168.1.0
    • You will now get the login screen to the Lamobo live stream server
    • The default user / pass is admin / admin

    Here you change some parameters, make sure if you are in the US you change the in image>lighting Power Frequency> to 60 hz

  • Dowload the VLC APP for Windows

    • open the app go to media>ope network stream.
    • Type the following aaddress rtsp://192.168.0.1

  • You should now be able to see your live stream on your computer!

  • This cam records video files on a loop that you can set from 3 mins to 48 hrs from the video server menu. To retrieve the video loop file click the function key ( the green LED will blink ) Click it again, this will start another loop file and create a downloadable AVI file of the previous video loop.

    I am working on adding a night vision infra red module to record in the dark, also adding a battery so you can place it somewhere as a stand-alone unit. The CAM with WIFI streaming consumes about 300mah so you you will need at least 7.2ah Lithium battery pack to record 24hrs. Can it work on solar power? that's something I am going to investigate in the near future so stay tuned and enjoy!
