Hi Mike
First, thanks for posting your program. It gave me some good ideas for
what I want to do for a similar project.
As I posted earlier, your program would not run for me. For anyone else
who runs into this situation, a solution is to comment out lines 82 and
83 for the first run through:
#with open(self.log_file, 'r') as filelist:
#??????????? self.data = json.load(filelist)
This will produce a properly formated self.log_file later in the
program; the lines can be uncommented after the first run. It doesn't
seem to make much difference either way.
Your program also seems to have a problem moving between directories.
That might be because some of my picture directories are empty. I
haven't had a chance to run that down yet.
There are other problems: moving between directories, deleting all files
crashes, "File -> Close" doesn't do anything. I haven't had a chance to
run these down yet.
Fun to work with Python again after 15+ years ...

Hi,
I used zoneminder some time back, but due to the much better and more reliable
packaging for Debian I moved to motion.
One nice feature which was very useful for me in zoneminder to reduce false
motion positives, was to define a zone (mask in motion), which blocked motion
if changes have been visible there.
A typical example would be to block motion detection when e.g. sun
illumination changes:
- declare one or multiple zones at e.g. a wall at a height of e.g. 4 m, where
you would never expect motion
- if motion is detected there, then any detection in the areas to monitor is
likely to be a false alarm as well.
Are there any recommended options in motion to achieve something similar?
How do you handle changing sun or other illumination in motion?
Many thanks
Rainer

In the Configuration file (general, or individual camera)
lightswitch_percent and lightswitch_frames have worked pretty well for me.

Message-ID: <2835445.UNYbqiRt6H@nanette>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi,
in order to optimize parameters, I would be quite beneficial to be able to
replay some scenes or even just a few days of video material. I found the
file:// input of netcam_url, which looks very promising.
I thought that capturing the camera stream with ffmpeg is best to get a good
one-to-one correspondence of running on the file:// replay and running on the
camera stream rtsp:// itself.
I am struggling somewhat with the sentence
"Note that since the file may have been created using a different framerate
than
specified in the Motion config file, the file may be processed at either a
faster
or slower rate than real time."
Does "processed" mean just CPU utilization or does it mean that the replay
will not work properly on time based options (e.g. event_gap) or even worse on
frame based options?
Thanks
Rainer

Does anyone know if there is a Debian repository that I can add to my apt
settings so that I can update to 4.3.0 using the apt-get method? Current
default repositories only have 4.1.1
Thank you,
