• [X] Edit the motion.conf file²
• [ ] Test script and motion.conf

Informational

1. Purpose:

Teach students how to manage time and use other people's programs in their own modified methods.

2. Method:

As a student-led program, they must learn how to research topics on their lonesome or how to use each other as resources
Use a shell script to accomplish installation and setup

3. Documentation:

• motion_install_setup.sh can install and can set up motion.conf for you, meaning you can start from a fresh non-gui Raspbian install.
• video files are saved to /mnt/security/videos (so set up your hard drives!)
• log files are /mnt/security/logs
• Image port of the server is 34197⁴
• TCP/IP port is 34198 ⁴
• webcam_old is a collection of our old python and shell scripts, which have since been depreciated.
•        > Has since been moved to its own branch to prevent clutter³

4. Flags:

• -h: View help page
• -i: Install the program
• -c: Copy motion.conf to motion location
• -m: Mount to /mnt/security, must be ext3 and in /dev/sda1

Footnotes:

1: Install script is constantly and inconsistently updated. The README does not and will not reflect this. 2: Vital to finish before motion install script can be tested
3: 'depreciated' branch holds all the old files of the project, which were previously stored haphazardly in a folder on 'master'
4: Subject to change
