That's a good starting place. After that, you will need to tinker with the settings to get the best pictures. I ended up with:
camera_raspi_options="-fps 20 -ex beach --ev 10 -awb incandescent --mm matrix -q 95 -hf -vf -x 1296 -y 972"

Hi
that is helpful but I still cant get a stream I am not getting DNS resolved for some reason I can only get to it across my network by IP address (it does not seem to resolve names)
Its resovles on itself ok
but if I Use the "ip address":8080 in a browser I get a snapshot fine but no stream do I still need to change some thing else?
not sure why dns does not appear to be working?
Re: Pi cam to work in octoprint
Getting DNS to work is something that isn't Octoprint related specificaly. You can get things to work short term by changing the streaming URL parameter to use the IP address of your Pi.
