motion detection sw. I asked about the "motion" sw and apperently that<br>
didn't work at all so I took that as a challenge and checked up on it now.<br>
In short - dunno exactly what Mathias (?) had written but I did put up<br>
"motion" to run on my rpi in 10 minutes following<br>
<a href="http://www.richardmudhar.com/blog/2015/02/raspberry-pi-camera-and-motion-out-of-the-box-sparrowcam/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.richardmudhar.com/blog/2015/02/raspberry-pi-camera-and-motion-out-of-the-box-sparrowcam/</a><br>
The only additional thing I had to do was "chown motion<br>
/var/lib/motion" and then I had a stream coming from my rpi camera plus<br>
snapshots saved whenever more than 1500 pixels changed. Reading down<br>
/etc/motion/motion.conf wasn't that hard to guess what each option was<br>
doing so I did play around with values a bit.<br>
<br>
With that I now have a new project, security camera for home<br>
surveillance - that will text me or something when stuff happens that<br>
I'm not ready for.<br>
