Low light video #123

Open konpaul opened 2 years ago

konpaul commented 2 years ago

Hey, is there a possibility to save a low light video on a motion event? Or is that not possible due to the long shutter time? I am using a IR Cut Camera. Thanks for the help. Cheers Paul

I have a RPI IR camera but I don't have it with me now. I have used it with Pi-Timolo but never got good results but then again I did not have an IR light source. Low light mode has too long an exposure to use motion tracking. Normally it would be best to have a motion activated security light near the camera, then when the motion light comes on the camera would need some time to track motion and trigger a video, photo, photo sequence Etc.

I have also played around with IR motion sensors connected to GPIO but found them a little finicky and decided to use regular motion light not attached to RPI. Hope this answers your question Claude ..

You might want to check out the NOIR camera python program below.

Another python NOIR camera project. See Source version 1.1.2 for latest code.
