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,...Frank BrownMon, 26 Oct 2020 04:30:06 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#b6dehttps://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=100#28d5/8b13Yes, of course !

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?TMP-StephenHMon, 20 Apr 2020 01:28:52 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=50#28d5https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=50#28d5I have a question about masking.

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...Frank BrownTue, 29 Oct 2019 00:10:26 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#b21fhttps://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#f568Hello ! 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...J.PrinzlerTue, 13 Aug 2019 09:07:50 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#f568https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#24faHi, 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 replyDIO_SVKMon, 03 Jun 2019 06:17:37 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#24fahttps://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#0847I 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.Mike PhillipsMon, 07 Jan 2019 17:24:34 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#0847https://sourceforge.net/p/motion/wiki/Home/?limit=25#0847I find pushing videos via on_movie_end to gmail successful, but difficult to view, there's no embedded avi viewer.
