Thanks, MrDave. I didn't get what I want with setup_mode but it didn't
occur to me to change log_level. D'oh!

Those mosquitoes look illuminated in your images. You?ll get this when your IR
lights are too close to the cameras. Move them further away. If the cameras
have IR LEDs built in, turn them off, there should be an option in the admin
interface. If there isn?t, take some side cutters to the cables, the LEDs are
usually on a separate board.

Subject: [Motion-user] Reliable system
Hello to all,
If I allow myself to write here it is to have your ideas and feedback on
motion. I've been using it for several months now but I can't get the desired
result.
I have installed my alarm system (outdoor cameras, indoor cameras, 433Mhz
infrared detectors, siren, backup power supply, GSM shield and so on).
I would like to have the most functional system possible. It is not conceivable
to trigger the siren several times during the night for false positives ! But
on the other hand, this siren must be triggered automatically during an
intrusion. I can't keep my phone on all night to check what's going on.
Today, in this alarm system I use among others a raspberry pi 3b+ with motion
(for the 4 outdoor cameras). However I have some false positives that I can't
avoid: mosquitoes that spend the night very close, water drops at night when it
rains etc.. At night when it rains I can reach up to 200 false positives.
During the day, between 0 and 2 false positives. With so little reliability, I
even managed to turn off the outside cameras finally...
Here are the images of some false detections.
By varying the different parameters I can't get a correct system. I set a
reasonable threshold (low enough to detect a human movement and high enough not
to constantly have false positives). But a spider passing in front of the
camera is finally impossible not to detect with the threshold (even with the
threshold_maximum) ...
I also activated the smart filter. It allows to avoid the movements of grasses,
trees and so on.
I think it's mandatory to add a human shape detection algorithm, don't you?
If so, do you know any that have a reasonable execution time? Indeed, all the
ones I tried take more than 30 sec to identify a human on a single image!
(Obvious given the CPU of a raspberry). And does a USB dungle really worth it?
On the other hand, taking a step back, I find that very few home security
companies offer outdoor cameras. Or they are cameras you have to install
yourself and therefore the feedback seems disappointing. Maybe that's a sign?
Maybe we should only consider filming with outdoor cameras in order to have
different angles in case of indoor intrusions (identified by infrared sensors
which are more reliable)?
What do you think about this?
How do you do it?
Thank you in advance for your ideas/feedback.
