Some more info that might (or not) be useful.
I switched off saving videos, so it would only save images
(output_pictures center), and the images look quite ok. However it keeps
detecting motion when there is no motion (about three times per minute)
even when I have the option event_gap set up to 60.

I'll add a issue to the project to address the abort. (There is already
a bug filed upstream in ffmpeg on it).
It is surprising this option does not function.? There are only two
options that are specified in Motion for this method.? The
dimensions(height/width) and the framerate.? If you try a `ffprobe` of
the device, it should report the device defaults on these and you can
try those as the configuration options in Motion.
