Motion is a software package used to detect moving objects. Only need one pcduino , one ordinary usb camera, you can monitor your own office and bedroom by pcduino.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_tour][vc_tab title=”Parts” tab_id=”1393812525-1-39″][vc_column_text]1. One pcDuino v2

2.An ordinary UVC camera with  usb interface

Camera connected to the USB port of pcDuino[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Installation” tab_id=”1393812525-2-55″][vc_column_text]In ubuntu source has the corresponding software package. So the installation is simple.

$ sudo apt-get install motion[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Configuring motion” tab_id=”1393813591583-2-3″][vc_column_text]Motion configuration files are stored in / etc / motion directory

Motion profile comments written very clearly, I’ll take  several commonly used ones for  example

daemon off    close daemon mode , if you open daemon mode , then motion would run directly in the background , if you do not manually kill off the process , then the motion would have been running in the background .

videodevice /dev/video0  The video device to be used for capturing. Default for Linux is /dev/video0. for FreeBSD the default is /dev/bktr0.

width 320 and height 240  is set to capture the image size, generally there is no demand , then do not exceed 640 × 320, so it is relatively easy to run the board .

framerate 2 Maximum number of frames to be captured from the camera per second.

minimum_frame_time 0 2 Minimum time in seconds between the capturing picture frames from the camera. Default: 0 = disabled – the capture rate is given by the camera framerate.

netcam_tolerant_check off Set less strict jpeg checks for network cameras with a poor/buggy firmware.

brightness and contrast and saturation The brightness ,contrast and saturation level for the video device. Default: 0 (disabled)

threshold 1500 Threshold for declaring motion. The threshold is the number of changed pixels counted after noise filtering, masking, despeckle, and labelling.Default: 1500

gap 60  Gap is the seconds of no motion detection that triggers the end of an event. An event is defined as a series of motion images taken within a short timeframe. Default: 60

output_all off  Picture are saved continuously as if motion was detected all the time.Default: off

ffmpeg_video_codec swf  Codec to be used by ffmpeg for the video compression. Timelapse mpegs are always made in mpeg1 format independent from this option.

locate Locate and draw a box around the moving object. Value ‘preview’ makes Motion only draw a box on a saved preview jpeg image and not on the saved mpeg movie.

target_dir /tmp/motion Target directory for picture and movie files.

webcam_motion off  If set to ‘on’ Motion sends slows down the webcam stream to 1 picture per second when no motion is detected. When motion is detected the stream runs as defined by webcam_maxrate. When ‘off’ the webcam stream always runs as defined by webcam_maxrate.

webcam_localhost   Limits the access to the webcam to the localhost.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Monitor installation” tab_id=”1393813593062-3-1″][vc_column_text]1.Can use a mobile phone or PC to monitor camera. But PC ,mobile phone and pcDuino on the same network segment
