I wanted to add another Flag called Autofocus=true/false It would ?full screen? the camera that detects motion. A function that would seem to be a no brainer in any surveillance system. First time dealing with GNU not sure what I can do Thanks for any information From: Arrow22 [mailto:arro...@siliconmagi.com] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2021 10:01 AM To: 'Motion discussion list' <motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: difference in apt-get install and make install There seems to be a difference in the package installations apt-get works great and all files are where they are supposed to be motion startup says version 4.1.1 git clone https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion.git works but compiling unaltered code even using ?prefix=/ will not start the service ->not found motion.conf is way different new to linux, but been programming for a long while.

If your camera supports turing autofocus on/off - just use vid_control_params https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#vid_control_params On Fri, Apr 30, 2021 at 1:14 AM Arrow22 <arro...@siliconmagi.com> wrote: > Am I allowed to change the source code? > > > > I wanted to add another Flag called Autofocus=true/false > > It would ?full screen? the camera that detects motion. > > A function that would seem to be a no brainer in any surveillance system. > > > > First time dealing with GNU not sure what I can do > > > > Thanks for any information > > > > > > *From:* Arrow22 [mailto:arro...@siliconmagi.com] > *Sent:* Friday, March 19, 2021 10:01 AM > *To:* 'Motion discussion list' <motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net> > *Subject:* difference in apt-get install and make install > > > > There seems to be a difference in the package installations > > apt-get works great and all files are where they are supposed to be > > motion startup says version 4.1.1 > > > > *git clone https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion.git > <https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion.git>* > > works but compiling unaltered code even using > > ?prefix=/ > will not start the service ->not found > > motion.conf is way different > > > > new to linux, but been programming for a long while.
