Hi Brian,
First define what your goal is. What amount of motion you want to
trigger a recording, and how long or how many frames you want to save.
Then work backward to fit that goal.
Some configuration settings to consider in motion:
? threshold
You can set how many frames of movement it takes to get a trigger.
? minimum_motion_frames
You can reduce the trigger with a mask.
? mask_file
You could set up a time lapse.
? snapshot_interval
Constant movement is a challenge to fine tune.

Hi thanks Stewart.
The goal is to keep anything interesting and to be able to see the
development as the chicks grow.
I guess I would like at least one video of 10 seconds duration every hour.
But, the people who own the farm want live video when ever they select
the HDMI from the Raspi4 we are using.
Testing at about 30,000 to 40000 pixels as threshold, That is OK, not
sure about the load that produces though.
the amount of pixels that change depends upon whether the movement is
close to the camera, or at the far end of the nesting box.
Cheers Brian

Somehow this reply was sent incorrectly. Sorry about that.
