Subject: [Motion-user] Second threshold at same camera
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
I am using motion 4.2.2 on a Raspberry Pi.
Is it possible, to define a second threshold level at the same camera
and trigger an external program, when second threshold is reached?
For example, first threshold level at 5% percent changing pixels and
second theshold at 40%?
I want to detect the neighbours cat and start picture capturing when its
entering my cat ladder. When its up the ladder to a certain height, I
want to open a magnetic valve to spray him with water.
Believe me, I love cats and I dont want to hurt any. Even the bad
neighbours cat. He is a beautiful male cat, but he really harasses my cat.
So, any chance to trigger an external script on a higher threshold level?
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Alex

Hi,
I'm not sure if this can be done out of box, but one possible solution is:
get movie with motion, use ffmpeg to extract middle frame for instance, use
some simple pixel walking to check if there is something black in the area
of interest.

But wouldn't it detect your own cat, too?
