Hi
I have several Foscam FI9800 , that run without a problem,
But one is misbehaving

All the other Foscam cams are OK, this one plays up, any suggestions

Hi,
As much as I would like to exclude rain, snow, and fog, that would
realistically require a lot more CPU power to identify patterns.
Vertical rain is a pattern, and usually the wind is blowing too, so not
always vertical.
Right now, those are indeed valid motion, and the only solution I have
is to set:
minimum_motion_frames 4
to exclude the fast moving blobs, and
pre_capture 4
to keep the initial trigger from being lost. On the pi4 this only loses
1 frame which is acceptable. Too many more in the pre-buffer seems to
take too long to start the movie output file.
Also to avoid gigabytes of snow (day-color and night-IR), I may have to
set either a much higher threshold, or as last resort set:
timelapse_interval 6
or 10, and pause the motion detection until morning or when the weather
improves.
Another idea (depending on your location and needs) is to turn off the
IR light, and then headlights-taillights in color will be the only
trigger at night.
After learning the downsides of motion detection, I can say prowlers,
deer, skunks and coyotes are free to move undetected around the
neighborhood during snow and rain events. :-D
