 === 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>).

 +Motion just stops. If you activated "daemon mode" via config you might need to edit your servicefile.
 +
 +Edit /lib/systemd/system/motion.service
 +
 +<code>
 +ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion
 +to
 +ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion -n

 +
