I have several IP cameras connected to Motion on my RasPi.? They all
work fine most of the time.? But one camera, an old Panasonic, gets
disconnected from Motion approximately once or twice a day. After it
gets disconnected, it won't detect movement, and viewing it on the
streaming port yields only a gray image with the /text_left/ and
/text_right/ values showing, and a */CONNECTION TO CAMERA LOST/* message
in the upper left. The log has many, many of these lines:
*[2:nc9:shop] [ERR] [NET] [Jan 21 07:35:38] netcam_read_first_header:
Error sending 'connect' request: Broken pipe**
**[2:nc9:shop] [ERR] [NET] Above message repeats 5000 times*
The only way I have found to re-establish the connection is to kill and
restart motion. Doing so completely fixes the problem for anywhere from
an hour to a couple of days, then it drops again.
None of my other cameras do this.? One clue is that this particular
camera sees very little motion, whereas the others get triggered a
hundred times or more every day.
How do I begin to find this problem?
David

Motion does not select which part of the sensor to grab, it asks camera to
provide 1024x600 and you will see whatever camera gives
Also, there is no way to crop picture by motion, but you can setup a
middleware, like ffmpeg, that will grab picture from camera, resize/crop
and feed it to motion (if it is really worth)
