Comments on An introduction to basic motion detection on Linux
Setting up a motion detection system on Linux is fairly easy and simple. All that we need is a webcam (or laptop), the “motion” package, and a few minutes to set everything up. The purpose for doing this may be private space surveillance, enhancement of personal security, or simply a fun project. Whatever the case, this quick guide is not intended to promote illegal activities such as unauthorized video recording of people and their activities. That said, please use the knowledge offered here with ethical conduct.

Hi, to get more relaible motion detection, with minimum false aterts, is it possibe to add a PIR detector to the system that includes a simple bullet ip camera? Thanks
Can I change the size of the captured images as the default size is quite small (320x240), or change the trigger threshold?
If anyone having any problem with Netgear arlo seccurity camera, they can try to netgear arlo support for getting information.

Hi, I have installed Motion. I have a problem accessing it through http : it requires a username and password. I try to insert my usual usernames and password, but it doesn't work. Should I declare a specific user, add one to a specific group, ... ? Thanks
Motion is compleate garbage. Does not work without FFMPEG and takes hours Troubleshooting issues then you get like 3 frames a second. In 2020 this is unacceptable.
Great article.
However, my motion takes up 50% of the cpu. What should i check?
Hi,
could I ask you to help me understand in wich way could I get some parameters about Motion detection wih a Raspeberry PiCam and put this parameters about the Motion use of a camera for example, in a database ( SQLite or posgreSQl ), I mean where the parameters regarding the use of Motion are stored in a Debian Raspberry 4, and from where I could get these type of parameters ?
Thank you if you coul help me and suggest me.

is it possible to send a notification when motion is detected? email or cell phone would be nice, but I don't see how to do that from reading the manuals. thanks
