When trying to figure out what motion is, or is not, picking up on as
motion, I find it helpful to turn this option on as well:
locate_motion_mode on
If you see motion outside of your "mask" zone, then you know your mask file
isn't working.

Subject: [Motion-user] lightswitch

I'm not sure how lightswitch works.
The Motion Guide says:
Range / Valid values: 0 - 100
Default: 0 (disabled)
Ignore sudden massive light intensity changes given as a percentage of the
picture area that changed intensity. The value defines the picture areas in
percent that will trigger the lightswitch condition. When lightswitch is
detected motion detection is disabled for 5 picture frames. This is to avoid
false detection when light conditions change and when a camera changes
sensitivity at low light.
If I put 50 as percentage that changed intensity. Does it means that 50 or more
or 50 or less.
What happens if 90% of the pixels change intensity.
