The application requires me to have all 3 cameras live streaming simultaneously on 3 different local host ports of a PC. I am using 3 low light HD USB cameras (details on the link below) for my application. height 972 # Maximum number of frames to be captured per second. I'm running a raspicam v1 at a video resolution suitable for night time with these settings: # Annotate 92 is date/time/shutter/gain mmalcam_control_params -settings -annotate 92 -mode 4 -contrast 20 -awb off -awbgains 0.98,1.28 -nopreview -verbose -rotation 180 -saturation 25 -ex night # 1296x972 matches rpicam v1 mode 4 (full FOV, 2x2 binning) # Image width in pixels. There are probably settings in the nf file that could change this. If you change stream_maxrate to something higher than 1, you should be able to get more fps (if your network is fast enough - a wired network will remove doubt about that). With a Pi 3, I've had good luck with saving 15fps video (maybe 30fps) on motion events, but even wired, I think I get exactly 1 fps via a web browser looking at the Pi's web server running on port 8081. You might see this behavior if either your Pi or the computer you're using to connect to its web server are on WiFi instead of wired ethernet. Type y to save and enter to conform.Īgain type in the command ' sudo nano /etc/default/motion ' and press enter.
If it is NOT there, then there is some problem in your camera or the camera is not supported in 'motion'.Īfter the installation is complete, type in the command ' sudo nano /etc/motion/nf ' and press enter. Now to make sure that the camera is correctly detected.
Type in the command ' sudo apt-get install motion ' to start the installation.
