Hi List,
In the spirit of the psychedelic post, recently used Motion for a quick
and dirty setup -- RPi4 with a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks
(pre-2010). Has been working doing the job just fine, but checking it
remotely, after some time I'm noticing ~40MB files...
I have a wireless relay and thought maybe it was bouncing the lights
bouncing on/off, but no -- I don't have a strobetron. And looking at
some older posts ("Strange brightness during recording"), cheap USB
cameras do this, which is understanable.
So, I'm fishing for a magic parameter which might cool this situation
down.
TIA,
Alex

What does lspci | grep -i usb show? ie how many actual ports are there.
His is sitting on a usb hub that indicates both are on the same underlying
port.
I have got small machines to handle several cameras but it requires careful
usage of the usb ports making sure they are independent ports.
