Hi everyone,
I have a 5MP camera "guarding" my front drive and I am trying to fine
tune events. The biggest problem I have is false positives from car
lights running across my drive.
So far I do not have a action linked to detected motion but I would like
too. This means I would have to rule out most false positives. I already
created a mask to rule out the street movement.
motion 4.1.1. (latest stable Debian)
Current camera setting: 1920*1080 @30fps
camera1.conf:
/netcam_url rtsp://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:554/2/h264major//
//threshold 30000//
//mask_file /home/jacco/.motion/mask.pgm//
//lightswitch 40//
//minimum_motion_frames 110//
//pre_capture 5//
//post_capture 120//
//event_gap 60//
//
//locate_motion_mode on//
//locate_motion_style redbox//
/
I used to have minimum motion frames set lower, but tried raising the
number to rule out passing cars (headlights really). Since storage is
not a real issue I dont mind the extra files created, but would hate to
miss out what I need to have and too many files is a pain to search an
event.
Thank you in advance for your help
Jacco
