Using "on_event_end" you could trigger an email to text alert to your
smartphone.

Subject: [Motion-user] checking camera periodically
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
I make good use of the on_camera_lost variable. By running a script and
sending me an email it allows me to know about problems immediately and
check the cause. The problem is that sometimes I forget. Is there a way
to periodically or interactively check? I'd quite like to, e.g., run a
cron job every morning that checked all the cameras (mostly cheap USB
Logitechs). This might not be a motion question specifically - I don't
really mind how I do it. Perhaps there's a Linux command that I could
use to programmatically heck if a camera is OK?
Thanks
Dougie
