 ==== Installation ==== ==== Installation ====
  
-[[http://jankarres.de/2013/12/raspberry-pi-kamera-modul-mit-motion-tracking/|Install instructions]]+<code>apt-get install motion</code>
  
 ==== Configuration ==== ==== Configuration ====
 +
 +=== motion.conf ===
 +
 +see my configfile below...
  
 === Maskfile === === Maskfile ===
 +
 +The maskfile is used to ignore certain areas with moving objects (like trees, pedestrians, cars) which normally would cause motion to capture pictures/videos. The file must have the same width and height as the picture captured by your camera. 
 +
 +Take a captured picture, paint all the correct areas white, the ones you want to ignore black. //You can also use different gray tones for different sensitivity (never tried).//
 +
 +Copy the picture to your Raspberry and convert it to the correct format.
 +
 +<code>
 +djpeg -grayscale -pnm <YOURPICTURE> > maskfile.pgm
 +</code>
 +
 +If djpeg is missing, install the following package (libjpeg-progs - Programs for manipulating JPEG files)
 +<code>
 +apt-get install libjpeg-progs
 +</code>
 +
 +Place your maskfile next to your "motion.conf" (in /etc/motion) and set the maskfile in your config (syntax: mask_file <FILE>).

-=== My configuration ===+ 
 +==== Troubleshooting ==== 
 + 
 +=== libavformat error === 
 + 
 +"motion: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.53: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" 
 + 
 +You might have to install some dependencies 
 + 
 +<code>apt-get install -y libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libavformat53 libavformat-dev libavcodec53 libavcodec-dev libavutil51 libavutil-dev libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libmysqlclient18 libmysqlclient-dev libpq5 libpq-dev</code> 
 + 
 +If some are not found, try to get the right version for your current distribution via 
 + 
 +<code>apt-cache search <package></code> 
 + 
 +=== /dev/video0 not found === 
 + 
 +"vid_v4lx_start: Failed to open video device /dev/video0: No such file or directory" 
 + 
 +Activate the module, /dev/video0 should be there afterwards 
 + 
 +<code>modprobe bcm2835-v4l2</code> 
 + 
 +and add the module to /etc/modules as a new line (persistent) 
 + 
 +<code>bcm2835-v4l2</code> 
 + 
 +==== My configurationfile ==== 
 + 
 +This is the dozencrows config with my values, some things have changed in the current "apt-get"-version. Most of the config is the same, just compare it with the new one 
 <code sh motion.conf> <code sh motion.conf>
 # /etc/motion.conf # /etc/motion.conf
