Hello everybody
I run Motion on Raspberry pi 3B equipped with Debian buster unofficial
port, the camera is an old USB Logitech C270 720p, all goes pretty well
except I have sometimes false positive movies of almost 1 second length.
I don't know what else to do. My motion setting are:
~# grep -v "^#\|^;\|^[[:space:]]*$" /etc/motion/motion.conf
daemon off
setup_mode off
log_file /home/frank/motion/motion.log
log_level 5
target_dir /home/frank/motion
videodevice /dev/video0
width 640
height 480
framerate 10
text_left CAMERA1
text_right %Y-%m-%d\n%T-%q
emulate_motion off
threshold 2500
threshold_maximum 160000
noise_tune off
noise_level 22
text_changes on
text_scale 2
lightswitch_percent 50
lightswitch_frames 160
minimum_motion_frames 5
event_gap 60
pre_capture 1
post_capture 1
on_movie_end /usr/local/bin/rmvbysize.sh %f
picture_output off
picture_filename %Y%m%d%H%M%S-%q
movie_output on
movie_max_time 180
movie_quality 60
movie_codec mpeg4
movie_filename %t-%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S
webcontrol_port 8080
webcontrol_localhost off
webcontrol_parms 0
stream_port 8081
stream_localhost off
I wrote small shell script (rmvbysize.sh) that delete the movies if the
size is less than 300K as workaround but I'd like to avoid it and setup
Motion to eliminate false positive.
Could anybody give me some hints?
Thanks in advance, kind regards.

Have you tried increasing the threshhold level or using threshold_tune?
1500 pixels only amount to about about 1/200 of your picture.
You might also try noise level, noise_tune and despeckle_filter.
