Hello Using motion 4.2.2 on ubuntu 20.04. Using the conversion modifier %f to attach the current file to an e-mail. I just made a change to create both a picture file and movie file for a given camera event. From an "on_area_detect" I want to send the photo via email. There seems to be 2 problems with this. First it seems Motion uses %f for for both the picture file and movie file, so which name is going to be returned. Both files are created with the same name, but with different extensions, (mp4,...

Yes, of course ! For example: (22:06:43) root@pbx:motion# grep mask *.conf camera1.conf:mask_file /usr/local/etc/motion/mask1.pgm camera2.conf:mask_file /usr/local/etc/motion/mask2.pgm camera3.conf:mask_file /usr/local/etc/motion/mask3.pgm camera4.conf:mask_file /usr/local/etc/motion/mask4.pgm camera5.conf:mask_file /usr/local/etc/motion/mask5.pgm (22:06:47) root@pbx:motion# tail -n 6 motion.conf camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera1.conf camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera2.conf camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera3.conf...

Using Motion 4.3.0 on Fedora 31. I have a question about masking. The instructions I found seem to indicate that there is only one mask file which is placed in motion.conf. However, I have 4 cameras and one mask file would work for one camera, but not the other three. Can a mask file be placed in the camera1, camera2, etc. .conf file instead?

I'm running Motion 4.0.1 on a RPi and generally have it running very well, with a couple of years of experience using Motion on RPi. Now trying to use tracking (pan/tilt) track_type 1, and have a serial terminal hooked to the uart and see serial output from the Pi. I have tested the serial link with other programs and it is working. When I start Motion (with appropriate motion.conf settings) I see on the serial link what must be Motion tracking trying to initialize the motor controller: [1:ml1] [NTC]...

Hello. I'm using motion 4.2.2 on Kubuntu 19.04. I am currently monitoring 4 cameras. For the camera in front of my house, I record all events occuring within view, which includes cars and people going down the street resulting in a large number of video files. I want to continue recording all the activity. I use the "area_detect" to narrow down an area of interest immeadiately around the house and "on_area_detect" key to run a script which plays and alert sound in the house, and also sends an email...

Hello ! I use motion (motion Version 3.2.12) for a long time under Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. At the moment I control with it three cameras. Now I would like to deactivate one or two cameras every now and then. Then I remove the corresponding configuration from the system and restart Motion. That's not very practical. Is not there a way to temporarily disable the camera via a variable within the configuration file? For example, Motion could check if a specific file exists and then ignore the camera. Something...

Hi, Is there a way with Motion to count all occurrences detected in pre-made video? I have 30min video that is mostly black and only one orange led is blinking in 10sec pattern with 2 sec pause trying to tell me the issue with hardware (blinking service code). I know that motion is able to trigger action based on motion detection, but is able to like show me number of how many blinks was issued durring 10sec session? Thanks for any reply

I find pushing videos via on_movie_end to gmail successful, but difficult to view, there's no embedded avi viewer. So I have 2 questions: 1) Is there a gmail friendly video encoding I can use 2) After switching to on_picture_save mode, I get WAY too many images mailed and I can't figure how to make it stop spamming / thrashing notifications. Is there a quiet period or something that can limit the number of notifications.

I am running Motion 4.1 and am curious why the timelapse capabilty does not allow for an mp4 choice. timelapse_codec Type: Discrete Strings Range / Valid values: mpg, mpeg4 Default: mpg Notice that the ffmpeg_video_codec Type: Discrete Strings Range / Valid values: mpeg4, msmpeg4, swf, flv, ffv1, mov, ogg, mp4, mkv, hevc Default: mpeg4 does allow mp4.
