Hi, I'm a very newbie to the forum, and before I deep dive into the program, I
would like to know if motion can handle this situation:
I have bought a IP-camera and it has the ability to detect motion in up to 4
different windows. Any motion in one of the windows will trigger an alarm which
either send me an email, catch a video or picture,... however it is a logical
OR of all motions in the active windows.?
What I would like to have is a freely defined logical function of the motions,
such as (motion1 AND motion2), or (motion1 AND NOT motion2) etc...
The usage of such logical function is for better detection of motion.?For
example if the two windows are defined such that a person can only trigger
motion in one window at a time, then the following logical function ?(motion1
XOR motion2) will not detect false alarm due to events such as turning light
on, sun hidden in clouds, ... because the events would create motion in both
windows at a time.?
My question is, can the program motion handle this situation, or can it be
modified to do this??
Thanks in advance!?
Paul?

For the past few days I have been trying to setup motioneye and motion on a
fadora box, after working through a few issues with the install i was able to
get everything up and running. However i have run into a issue when i try to
add my RSTP Camera, In the add camera box i get "RSTP is not supported". I
noticed that my install is only running motion version 3.3.0 looking at the
motion wiki it looks like RSTP may not be supported in this version.?
Sorry for asking as i am newer to Linux but Using Fadora how do I update motion
to the current release I think 4.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated as
I have only compiled from sources once in class.?
Thanks
Matt

Motion runs and works fine when started as root.
I've created a user (motion) and assigned it to a secondary group (video).
/dev/video0 = crw-rw---- 1 root video
So I:
useradd motion
usermod -a -G video motion
chmod 777 /var/run/motion <---(fixed the PID file problem.)
So now motion starts and stays running but, I get:
Firefox can?t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.123.
This is probably a motion webserver permission problem but I can't seem to find
why.
Any ideas?

I would suggest that you instead do this:
useradd motion
usermod -a -G video motion
mkdir -p /var/run/motion
chown motion /var/run/motion
You don't really need every user to be able to write to that location!

You need to configure motion on a port >1024 as non-root users can't
bind to low numbered ports.
Hope that helps, if not, please check the motion log file for details,
and send them to the list for further advice.

Adam

DANG IT! I know this. Being flustered really inhibits your thinking.
It worked when I move the web port from 80 to 8080.
Thanks!

Hi
Using motion 4.0.1 from the Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) repository I am
having a bit of difficulty with the movie output. I have set
event_gap to 10 and my understanding is that this means that if there
is a gap between motion events of less than 10 seconds then the events
will be concatenated into one event, and this does appear to be the
case. The movie file output that I get in this case does consist of
the two motion events together, but in the gap between instead of
seeing the scene as it was during the gap the picture freezes and then
starts again for the second motion event.
So for example if there is motion for 5 seconds then 5 seconds without
motion and a further 5 seconds of motion then the movie file is 15
seconds long consisting of the first 5 seconds of motion, 5 seconds of
frozen image and the second 5 seconds of motion. It is clear that it
is frozen as there is a section of the scene masked out with a mask
file where there is ongoing activity. When I used an earlier version
of Motion I believe that the movie skipped over periods of no motion,
but I may be mistaken in this.
Is this the expected way that Motion should perform?
If it is not clear what I am trying to describe then I can probably
extract a short section of video to demonstrate it.
Below are what I hope are the relevant sections of the config:
Cheers
Colin
