Subject: [Motion-user] How to record a video
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
I have installed MotionPlus on a Pi5 with bookworm with a single Pi v3
camera.? It is working, in that I can see the picture on a webpage on my
desktop.? How do I set it to record on motion detection?? I read that it
needs a database, so I added commands to create a sqlite3 database, but
it didn't create it following a reboot.
The log file showed that it couldn't create the database, don't know
why, so I then manually created the database and rebooted again.? The
log now says that it cannot open the database.
Questions
Do I need a database in order to capture videos?
Why does motionplus fail to open my database?? I can open it from
command line.
How? do I set motionplus to record on motion detection?
I have attached my config and log files.
Sorry if these are very basic questions but I cannot find the answers in
the docs
