Today's Topics: 1. triggering a capture externally (Mathias Koerber) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2018 19:43:56 +0800 From: Mathias Koerber <math...@koerber.org> To: motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Motion-user] triggering a capture externally Message-ID: <f3712f4a-4d81-df0c-b5e9-a895e4ee2...@koerber.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Moin, I am just reading the motion guide and playing with it for the first time. In addition to motion capture by motion itself, I'd like to be able to trigger a video recording etc via an IR sensor or an eternal button (doorbell) Is this what 'SIGUSR1' is intended for? I am a bit confused what 'current event' means in that context.. If SIGUSR1 is not the correct way. could a handler for signal (SIGUSR2?) be added that simply triggers the reactions that would happen as if motion was detected (but maybe with some variable indicating that it was an external trigger) cheers -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
