I'm trying to setup motion in ubuntu 10.10. My webcam is detected and works - however, motion does not adhere to my configuration file, especially here:
I ran motion in setup mode to check the levels I was getting and based on the output, my levels are useless, here's an example:# Threshold for number of changed pixels in an image that
# triggers motion detection (default: 1500)
threshold 2
# Automatically tune the threshold down if possible (default: off)
threshold_tune off
# Noise threshold for the motion detection (default: 32)
noise_level 2
# Automatically tune the noise threshold (default: on)
noise_tune off
and no motion was detected, only when the default (1500) was reached, did motion capture images...[1] Changes: 140 - noise level: 13
