The camera records video correctly in "24/7" mode, but does not record video in "Motion Detection" mode (without y291ga, the camera works correctly in both modes)

Serial Number: RFUSY62V**** Base Version: 12.0.35.8_202211241029 Firmware Version: 0.2.5 Model Suffix: y291ga UPDATE: lower_half_init.sh from https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2/issues/540

backup: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/WN2ccQuH0sLmSQ

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

This problem is hard to fix. I need your support because I don't have this model. When motion detection doesn't work, you mean through the app, I think. Does motion detection work via mqtt? Could you list the running processes in both configurations (with and without the hack)?

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

I'll be happy to help.

Switching "24/7" and "Motion Detection" is performed in "YI Home". "Motion Detection" does not work - I mean the absence of records for this event. I checked "MQTT" - the camera does not send messages. (With identical settings, I checked the test for QFUS_9.0.36_y211ga_0.2.5 - messages come about "motion_detection", "motion_detection_image" and "motion_files")

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

Ok, next step... I need a list of the running processes in both configurations. Without the hack and with the hack configured with "Disable cloud"=off.

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

Sorry, I do not know how to get a "list of running processes". Do you mean information from web pages (configurations, mqtt, camera_settings, eventsdir)? Or save the configuration? config_RFUS_12.0.35.tar.bz2 - https://disk.yandex.ru/d/SPLnmMMmqpF9lw "With the hack" - maybe there is some command to output this information? (but "Without the hack" - is it possible to get such information from the camera somehow in the "YI Home" application?)

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

With or without the sd card containing the hack, you should be able to enter to the cam using telnet. Open putty and run a telnet session. The command to show the processes is 'ps'.

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

Ok. List of running processes "With the hack" and "Without the hack" - https://disk.yandex.ru/d/FSzf1Wi9CJno-w

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

You should try to edit the file lower_half_init.sh in the root folder of your sd card:

Remove the sd from the cam.
Put the sd into your pc.
Make a backup copy of the file lower_half_init.sh lower_half_init.sh_ori
Open the file lower_half_init.sh with your preferred text editor.
Change the line LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/sd/yi-hack/lib/ipc_multiplex.so ./dispatch & with ./dispatch & near the end of the file.
Save and eject the sd card.
Put the sd into the cam.
Check if motion detection works with the original app.

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

Sorry. Both lines are found in the file.

line 146: ./dispatch & line 177: LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/sd/yi-hack/lib/ipc_multiplex.so ./dispatch &

I tried changing "line 146" to LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/sd/yi-hack/lib/ipc_multiplex.so ./dispatch & and changing "line 177" to ./dispatch &

I didn't notice any difference. There are no records.

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

Try to remove the file /tmp/sd/yi-hack/bin/cloudAPI_real # rm /tmp/sd/yi-hack/bin/cloudAPI_real and restart the cam.

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

1) "lower_half_init.sh" - returned the original 2) executed the command rm /tmp/sd/yi-hack/bin/cloudAPI_real and rebooted the camera

I didn't notice any changes. There are no records.

Opened the SD via the computer: in the folder "H:\yi-hack\bin " the file "cloudAPI_real" is present, but without the "creation/modification date". After restarting the camera - did it create itself? https://disk.yandex.ru/i/FwYd98tgNdJGFQ

The hack creates this file. It's ok.

I probably found the problem, Try this beta please: y291ga_0.2.5.tar.gz

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

1) "this beta" is a continuous reboot loop. 2) update "lower_half_init.sh" from #540 - continuous reboot loop. 3) The "Swap file" is enabled - the camera has stopped restarting.

There are no video recordings.

4) additionally checked: "lower_half_init.sh" from "this beta" And "Swap File" is Enable = continuous reboot loop.

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

Another try please: y291ga_0.2.5.tgz

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

1) "last beta" - the camera does not reboot. There are no records. 2) disable: a) Snapshot for recorded video b) ONVIF c) ONVIF WS-Discovery d) ONVIF watermark e) SSH - camera does not reboot. There are no records. 3) RTSP Audio - I change the value "null" to "Disabled (default)" - https://disk.yandex.ru/i/JAgyO1UuHROI6Q - continuous reboot loop. 4) "Reset to yi-hack default" - rebooted several times, but then stopped rebooting. There are no records. 5) The "Swap file" is enabled AND "RTSP Audio" - I change the value "null" to "Disabled (default)" - camera does not reboot. There are no records.

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

We need to check if the cam creates records internally. Using the last beta, login with putty and check the folder /tmp/sd/record when you move the cam. If there is a file tmp.mp4.tmp your cam has detected the motion. Run the command: ls /tmp/sd/record

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

Run the command: ls /tmp/sd/record - The directory is empty. I move my hand in front of the camera - Run the command: ls /tmp/sd/record - The directory is empty.

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

Please, check if cloud application is running: ps

cloud application is ok, I don't understand... Just a little recap:

If you remove the sd card, motion detection works.
When the hack is running, motion detection doesn't work.
cloudAPI application is updated and running.
cloud application is running.
All other mandatory applications are running (dispatch, rmm and p2p_tnp).

If that's the case I don't know how to fix it. I need to connect in console to your cam and do some testing.

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

If you remove the sd card, motion detection works. - YES When the hack is running, motion detection doesn't work. - YES

"I need to connect in console to your cam and do some testing." - OK

@schuchelov What do you think about tomorrow? I'm UTC+1.

evider2002 commented 1 year ago

@roleoroleo After reading all the recent threads, this is what I believe, please tell me if I am correct. fw11 motion doesn't work. fw12 original issue was that camera was rebooting, but you fixed that issue with updated lower_half_init.sh. Now the issue is that motion doesn't work. So the last fw version that motion works with is 9? Motion does not work with 11/12?

Thank you.

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

As explained here the motion detection feature is changed between 9 and 11. https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2/issues/550 It's not true that it doesn't work, simply it changed. I already updated the hack to work with this new fw but I need to test it. If you want, I can send you a beta to test.

evider2002 commented 1 year ago

@roleoroleo This comment was from 4 days ago. By now I already know that you have the hack working on 12... I indeed tested it and commented on it here https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-Allwinner-v2/discussions/547#discussioncomment-4579267

schuchelov commented 1 year ago

Sorry I'm missing. New Year. Indicated in the "YI Home" application, "motion detection" is enabled in two places.

1) SD recording mode - "recording detected activity" or "Recording continuously 24/7"

2) Settings - (Intelligent Detection) Settings - Movement

The v9 - it was enough to switch only in the #1 setting. The v12 - everything worked correctly when I turned on setting #2.

(I don't know what the rules are here - I got a consultation - the problem is solved - the branch can be closed)

stale[bot] commented 1 year ago

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

gabest11 commented 1 year ago

I have the same problem. If I do 1+2 as above then it does record a single event, but only every 8-10 minutes, nothing in between. Sensitivity high has no effect. (same camera, fw, 0.2.7 yihack)

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

1 means "recording detected activity" or "Recording continuously 24/7"?

gabest11 commented 1 year ago

Only activity. I am still testing it. The alert frequency (in the phone app) seems to have an effect on it. If I set to the highest, it only leaves a very small gap between the 1min recordings. But this also sends a lot of notifications to the phone, so silly that it is linked at all.

gabest11 commented 1 year ago

I have one more observation. "Motion Detection" (yi-hack, camera settings) cannot be turned on, only if I edit the config file. If I switch it on in the web UI, I get a single recording and it is off again.

gabest11 commented 1 year ago

It was a dual package, so I have another camera. This one records clips just as erratically without the yi-hack fw. So disappointing, since I had a 6FUS (MStar) before and that worked flawlessly.

I don't understand exactly what do you want to obtain. Record activity? Notifications? Please, explain me better.

Regarding the hack, it doesn't change these features on the cam. It just allows to enable/disable them without using the app (and maybe the cloud).

gabest11 commented 1 year ago

Okay, I'm going to summarize my experience.

before yi-hack, I setup the camera in yi app, changed recording type to "Activity Detection Recording", nothing was recorded, it did not work out-of-the-box...
turned off "Activity Detection Recording", it recorded everything 24*7, as it should
put yi-hack onto sdcard
"Activity Detection Recording" ON again, nothing was recorded, again
searched online, arrived here, figured I also have to enable "Motion Detection" for yi-hack, a partial sub-1min file and the following 1min file was recorded, but nothing more, I could jump up and down in front of the camera, only after 10 minutes did it record again
played with the sensitivity and notification frequency in the yi app and I managed to shorten the delay between two recordings to 5 or 1 minutes, no idea how, but the notification seems to be part of it
now, the strangest part, set "Motion Detection" OFF in the yi app and it started recording for more than 1 minutes continously, and nothing when there was nothing to record
also turned off "Motion Detection" in yi-hack, rebooted, still records correctly (fingers crossed)

Basically, motion detection outputs a single file for the event and waits X minutes before detecting again.

roleoroleo commented 1 year ago

Never seen this behavior before.
