Re: [app] N800 Camera Motion Detector w/HTTP server
 

this is a great app, very simple to install and use. my question is does it save the pics somewhere as a file which we need to erase or just overwrites or is just a stream.

are you using api calls, or just pulling from /dev/video?

Re: [app] N800 Camera Motion Detector w/HTTP server
 

danesh - you can edit the config file to enable saving of images based on time or motion sensing. I usually save them to the mmc card. You could also automate a script to ftp/sftp/scp them to your website if need be.

schmots - standard v4l2 video capture. Nothing special to make it work on the N800 except for tweaking a few lines in the source to ignore device capture errors.

Thanks for porting this app... works great!
I was curious about the 320x240 picture resolution, because I saw a comment on the web that the camera was VGA, 640x480. I changed width and height in motion.conf to those values, but motion quits before starting the web server. I then tried CIF, 352x288, and that works. Any idea why 640x480 doesn't work? The camera API example at http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/h..._api_bora.html is configured at 640x480.

It could be a simple issue with the app still being beta-level for V4L2 support. I will continue to compile new svn builds and put them online. Next step is a .install package to make things easier for you guys.

Sources please? Or even better, a garage project..

Re: [app] N800 Camera Motion Detector w/HTTP server
 

This is very cool! :D Finally something that gives me some hope that the n800 camera will be usable down the road.

@Moonshine
Thanks for digging this up! Didn't know about it! Nice :) All it needs is some interface so we don't need to start it from the terminal... Hmm that shouldn't even be hard... we'll see...

Re: [app] N800 Camera Motion Detector w/HTTP server
 

This would be awesome if it were a .deb with interface -- I am to think to get things going to well from the command line, I guess...

Great work konfoo fellah! This is brilliant. I just remembered why I love the N800 so much. It's a new toy every day.

Seriously, your work compiling this is much appreciated. Thanks!
