General :: Motion Detection SW - Configuration File
Mar 28, 2011
When I downloaded the motion detection sw "Motion" I found in the following path: /etc/motion/
motion.conf and 4 thread files in case of using several cameras.
Q1: Which language is that configuration file written?
Q2: I need to collect the source of Motion. Is that configuration file + the 4 thread files which in the /etc/motion directory only the source of the program neither there is some files in another paths I don't know?
I understand that Fedora 14 using automatic printer detection. When i plug in my Epson DX4450 printer nothing happens and i can find no way to configure the printer. This has never been a problem with any other linux distro. How can I correct this problem? Why does auto printer detection not work?
have tried changing the config file to this:target_dir ftp://user:pass@mysite.com:21/public_html/dirbut motion returns errors. want to be able to put mysite.com/dir/stream.flv into a browser and get the stream that would normally show up on my hardrive.I have also tried the wput on_photo_save, but it tells me that I have to many connections from my machines, and I don't want to have to have a frame rate of 2 per minute.
I want to see what is the configuration of my Wind River Linux (actually I want to see what modules are installed in it when it was built). I can't find the configuration file.
I used vlc to play some videos, than I was playing with programs and I install ffmpeg and kino. Now vlc doesn't play avi files with the motion jpec codec. All that I see now is a green screen and I can hear the audio. Everything else is fine, I can play those videos with Movie Player. I'm using debian squeeze.
I want to write a piece of C/C++ Code which will tell me whenever the USB is plugged in to the system or when ever any USB Device is unplugged from the System.
Amarok 2 can search through music collection using ID3v2 tag's 'bpm' field. That would be very nice to retag the entire music collection so I can find the 'mood' of the track I like.However I've not found any beat-detection software that could have helped me. Have you ever used one? CLI, preferably. Also I'm interested if there's anything alike for tagging FLACs with the same 'bpm' field.
For those not familiar with the "motion" project it monitors your camera and when enough motion is detected in the video field of view it records that to a video file. The project website is here What I'm looking for is something like that but for audio, does anyone know of any Linux apps that can accomplish this?
In my college many proxy : port (like 144.16.192.245:8080)are using to get Internet connection, performance of each proxy changes, how can i decide which one is working well at particular time. is there any way to switch over them automatically?
I have a challenege infront of me. There is a configuration file which is generated post deployment say orion-web.xml Post deployment I have to append the file with contents,
<session-config> <session-timeout>-1s</session-timeout> </session-config> between one node <webapp>
[code].....
This case would have been different if I had to change the value which would have been possible with my small little knowledge of sed.
i want to change in configuration file of ftp server i.e.'vsftpd.conf' for download and upload by root user is enabled . so tail me what changes is occured in configuration file of "ftp server"
I have looked at the GNU GRUB Manual 1.99 at [URL] but I cannot find an explanation of what the kernel entry / command in the grub.conf file means. I get what's the meaning of that entry but where is described what it actually is and what are proper.
I suppose this entry / command was actual in GRUB Legacy, but I cannot find where it is described...
On this Red Hat Box that I am using there is no .vimrc file for the user root. So, I created one and entered only one line to highlight syntax with colors when I am writing scripts in PHP and Bash. But it is not working.
I have one previously compiled apache server from source. I would like to know is there any option to get previous configuration file from /etc/httpd/.
It's always a good to backup a configuration file like sources.list before you edit it. To do so, issue the following command: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup Where does it backup to and how do I access it? I want to put the backup on removable disk or upload it
I have some errors when run the mount -all command: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Failed to open /proc/filesystems: No such file or directory
One of the good points of linux is that is easy to customize the partitioning scheme of the disk and put each directory (/home, /var, etc) in diferent partitions and/or diferent disk. Then we can use diferen file system/configurations for each of them for make them better. xamples:
noatime is a mount option to not write access time on the files. data=writeback is an option to layz write metadata on new files. ext3/4 has journaling that make the partition more secure in case of a crash. bigger blocks make the partition waste more space, but make it faster to read and may become more fragmented. (not sure) Then: What are the best filesystem/configurations for each directory? Note: given the answer of Patches, will only discuss /, /home and /var only.
/var -> It's modified constantly, it write logs, cache, temporal, etc. /home -> stores important files. /-> stores everything else (/etc and /usr should be here)
i can handle basics but once i get into coding it confuses me. i downloaded motion and webcam-server onto my other computer on the local network, but all i really want to do is access a live feed from my main box and be able to record a video if need be, for security purposes (we had a break-in awhile back). after starting motion, it saved a few .jpgs to the tmp folder, then i shut it down and restarted it as a test, now it's not even doing that, i'll post the readout of what it spat out in a minute. how do i (1) disable the .jpg saving feature, (2) enable video recording, (3) run it in the background (as a daemon?) without the terminal window being visible onscreen, and (4) access it on the main box? also, i couldn't seem to edit the motion.conf file even though i'm an administrator.
