http://www.ubuntux.org – Hello everyone! I'm using Motion in Ubuntu for my home security. For one camera, it works very well. But when I have used two cameras, only one is performing. The pther one is not functioning! I have checked the config file and two Thread files. Can any one please help me in this regard? Thanks in advance Syed (Distributions)

Stories similar to Motion detection using Multiple cameras

I have two webcams configured in motion.

Due to the way I'm positioning one of these cameras, it needs to be rotated upside down (180 degrees).

I tried putting this in it's tread.cfg file:

rotate 180

But this turned both the cameras upside down. How can I make it effect just one of them?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Motion 3.2.12

When I start motion from the command line using sudo motion All is good [0] Processing thread 0 - config file /usr/local/etc/motion.conf [0] Motion 3.2.12 Started [0] Motion going to daemon mode

When I auto start motion at startup and do tail -f /var/log/syslog I can see the error message motion: [1] ffopen_open err

Published at LXer:

If you have an old cam that you are not using, you can use it as a security cam. Control Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more cameras and is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed; in other words, it can detect motion.

I've recently acquired some Logitech Network security cameras

I want to use them with Motion on Ubuntu 10.04

Anyway, I'm just having trouble working out how to access the cameras. I've just plugged one in so far and here's what is happening:

I was interested in setting up a home security network. I installed Motion in Ubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine.

Sony NEX-5N is one of the excellent compact cameras which has the ability to capture HD video at 1080/60p. This makes for smooth motion. With the recent update of Final Cut Pro X and AMC 6, I was hoping both software would add support for 60P/50P AVCHD; however, seems it did not.

I have a fire IP cameras that will be behind a firewall I cannot modify (cannot open, or forward ports).

CCTV on Linux 45 weeks 5 days ago

Dear all,I've tried to research using Linux as a basis for an IP based CCTV NVR (Network Video Recorder). Getting the cameras and network isn't an issue but finidng a simple reliable application to record the images is. Does anyone have any recommendations please.Zoneminder and Motion are likely suspects.

Aravis, a glib/gobject-based library for video acquisition using Genicam cameras, which currently only implements an ethernet camera protocol used for industrial cameras, is now at version 0.2.0.
