Motion - takes snapshot without motion detected
- by Emmanuel Brunet
I've been installed the standard motion 3.2.12 package on debian 7.5.
I would like to get snapshot ONLY when motion is detected, but it still saves a picture every second without any activity in front of the camera.
I'm using a TENVIS JPT3815W IP camera
motion.conf
here is my configuration file
setup_mode off
target_dir /media/videos/log/webcam
netcam_url http://webcam/snapshot.cgi
netcam_tolerant_check on
netcam_userpass admin:alpha1237
# Output frames at 1 fps when no motion is detected and increase to the
# rate given by webcam_maxrate when motion is detected (default: off)
webcam_motion off
output_all off
# detection settings 1-255 default 32
noise_level 50
# Maximum framerate for webcam streams (default: 1)
webcam_maxrate 25
pre_capture 0
framerate 25
gap 30

snapshot_interval 0
# Quality of the jpeg (in percent) images produced (default: 50)

# Restrict webcam connections to localhost only (default: on)
webcam_localhost off
# Limits the number of images per connection (default: 0 = unlimited)
# Number can be defined by multiplying actual webcam rate by desired number of seconds
# Actual webcam rate is the smallest of the numbers framerate and webcam_maxrate
webcam_limit 0
Issue
when I start motion images are stored in /media/videos/log/webcam nearly every second. I hjust want to get images when a motion is detected and the according video clip
Any idea where the configuration fails ?
