If you're wanting to move the last video file to another file system, you
can do that by scripting those steps into the file called with
"on_event_end".
I'd be happy to share my "event_end" script with you if that's what you're
trying to do.
I move my video files to my web server and then send myself an email
telling me there's been an event at my house.
I supply a link in the mail that I click to see what's going on.

Thank you on your answers.
Zydrunas, there was some problem with permissions and I managed to solve it.
Kinney, your scrip would be very useful for me. My RPI now sends
videos to remote servers but does not delete them from RPI. I need a
script that would send motion video, check if transfer was successful
and then delete the video from rpi memory.
If you have something similar, you would save me a lot of time.
Thanks in advance!
Slavica

Hi ?ydr?nas:
Yes, it worked that way ... I had to activate the snapshot each 5 seconds
to get it work, though
is it possible to do without this ?
