Motion detection deactivated but still triggering alarms #1180

Open dr400 opened 5 years ago

dr400 commented 5 years ago

I've noticed two situations that might be linked : webcontrol action does not work. When motion detection is paused, it reverts back to active within a couple of seconds (60s approx.). In the meantime, when motion detection slide is on "off", system still detects motion and triggers emails, catches pictures and movies ... Sounds weird ...

the only solution to really stop detection is to switch off "still images" and "movies" alomg with MD. Is this related to the automatic reversion from "pause" to "active" when webcontrol is used ?

dr400 commented 5 years ago

is the problem coming from the coexistence of motion and motioneye ?

Anyone to help ?

Are you still having this issue? I thought I should try to test this as I need to anyway figure out the possibilities of pausing and resuming motion detection. So, I configured my motioenEye test setup with really sensitive MD and went on to pause MD using motion web control. It's been now 6 minutes since the last bytes were written on disk and MD stays paused, so everything seems to working ok in my setup.

You mention "motion detection slide is on "off", system still detects motion and triggers emails": In my case there's nothing in motionEye UI that seems to reflect that MD is paused other than a "-" shown in the camera stream in place of the number of changed pixels (as I have "Show changed pixels" on). Are you saying that in your case motionEye sliders change when you use the webcontrol actions? What URLs are you actually referring to (I might be in the dark on some of the options there are)?

And some further questions that would help figuring this out :) Which version of motionEye (and motion) you're actually using (you can get the info by adding "/version" at the end of your motionEye URL)? Does this occur even if you just watch motionEye screen without touching anything after pausing MD? Do you have any custom scripting that try to operate motion or motionEye (scheduled or not)? Could you show us the logs around the time when the issue occurs?

Ah, @dr400, I think I figured out the reason for your issue. Do you have Working Schedule set? It will continuously enforce the status of motion based on the schedule, so whatever you do manually will be overridden soon (see #1240). Your only option right now might be to implement some daemon on the side that would command motion via the web control actions in the way you require, or to disable Working schedule in motionEye.

Hi,

I have the exact same problem...

motionEye Version 0.40 Motion Version 4.2.2 OS Version motionEyeOS 20190427 (on raspberrypi 2)

Does anyone know why motion detection is automatically restarted ?

Thanks.

I use these commends too but after a few seconds the status changes again to ACTIVE and the detection is recording again.

Any idea how to fix that?

If i "pause" the detection i get an prompt: Camera 1 Detection paused.

If i "status" i get the answer: Camera 1 Detection status PAUSE

BUT some seconds later "status" again: Camera 1 Detection status ACTIVE

Thx 4 the Help

@Skandy , referring to my comment directly above, do you have Working Schedule set?

skndv commented 5 years ago

@zagrim the Working Schedule option is turned off.
