Re: [LUG] Ras Pi Zero Motion Detection

["M. J. Everitt" <m.j.everitt@xxxxxxx>]

Motion (the v4l capture programme) has kinda stopped development, and is likely to start to suffer bit-rot as packages move forward and incompatibilities surface. That said, it's a useful utility which I have in active use for now ...

If you're keen on video 'stuff' - take a look at OpenCV .. there is some motion-detection stuff in there, but its not for the faint-hearted. Probably a more sustainable solution going forward though ..

Just me 2cents :)

OK, sorry if this is in the archives, Iâm having problems searching themâ

So â Iâve got my Pi Zero (v1.3 with the camera connector), the camera module, the special cable to connect the twoâ (thanks Pimoroniâ)

Â

Now, all I want to do is get the motion detection setup & working and as it has been a few days (years?!) since I last did this on my first Pi, I thought Iâd have a fresh look around.

Â

Appears that things have moved on a little..

Â

Original I used Motion: http://lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome but that appears to have (had?) a few issues with the Ras Pi camera module (or is that just resolved by âmodprobe bcm2835-v4l2â now?

Â

Â

So, thereâs now motionEyeOs: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki - my concern is that this is yet another âload the whole thingâ, rather than sticking to a âstandardâ Linux distro and adding packagesâ

Â

Does anyone have any opinions on this?

Â

It also have GPIO ready to goâ motion detection can trigger hardware I/Oâ nice

Â

Â

Or â should I be looking at something else here???

Â

Any pointers would be good.

Â

Thanks,

Â

Steve
