Motion Detection not working with night vision #1461

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Helo,

I've got a problem.

Everything works fine, just the motion detection not.

If I turn on "Still images" with "All frames" then everything works fine.

When I turn on "Motion Triggered (One Picture)", then nothing seems to be captured.

I tried to shake back and forth through the camera lens, but nothing seems to be captured.

My camera has night vision.

What would be the solution?

I'm using it on Raspberry PI Zero W and Raspbian Lite.

Your night camera is almost certainly not sensitive to body heat. You need to illuminate the scene either with a visible-light source or infra-red light before your camera will sense motion. I've used an infra-red source such as this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Infrared-IR-LED-From-Illuminator-Vision-Night-Camera-48-LED-Light-Lamp-850nm-UK/383034548724?epid=756901642&hash=item592ea361f4:g:QdkAAOSwwZtdHWXD triggered by a PIR attached to an Arduino. When the PIR detects a moving warm body, the Arduino switches on the light, and the camera then sees this as motion and begins recording.
