Subject: [Motion-user] Set motion to only take one or two HQ photos
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Hello everyone, I have been studying the documentation and am unable to
find an appropriate set of settings where the camera only takes one or
two shots when motion is detected. As of right now it fires off 10+
pictures every time motion is detected and I would really like to
decrease that amount.
I am thinking one way to do this is to simply have two cameras, one
webcam for watching and then an R-Pi HQ camera, and have the webcam
trigger an event to take a picture with the R-Pi, that way I get only
one or two HQ photos instead of a bunch. I'm assuming this will also
decrease the motion blur because the lens is not open for too long? I am
totally new to photography so I'm groping int he dark here.
Anyways, if a scenario like this can be achieved with just one camera
please let me know the best way to go about doing it! For context, the
camera will be used to take pictures of people as they ride across a zip
line.
Thank you for your time,
-Mitchell

You can configure to take one photo by specifying "best" or "first". If you
need two, you could use a script to dump an image from mition's stream. I
do that to take 3 images with 1 second delay each

If your version has them you could try playing with appropriate values
for framerate, movie_max_time and
minimum_frame_rate to give you short videos with only a few frames that
you could extract using ffmpeg.

Subject: [Motion-user] lightswitch setting
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
The default for lightswitch is off, If 100 is ignore sudden light level
changes, does 1 make motion more susceptible to a large light level
change ?
It would be nice to be able to trigger motion when external lights come
on

Hi there, thank you for the advice. Would you mind sharing the script so I
might be able to make a similar one?
