===== Motion =====
==== Installation ====
apt-get install motion
==== Configuration ====
=== motion.conf ===
see my configfile below...
=== Maskfile ===
The maskfile is used to ignore certain areas with moving objects (like trees, pedestrians, cars) which normally would cause motion to capture pictures/videos. The file must have the same width and height as the picture captured by your camera.
Take a captured picture, paint all the correct areas white, the ones you want to ignore black. //You can also use different gray tones for different sensitivity (never tried).//
Copy the picture to your Raspberry and convert it to the correct format.
djpeg -grayscale -pnm > maskfile.pgm
If djpeg is missing, install the following package (libjpeg-progs - Programs for manipulating JPEG files)
apt-get install libjpeg-progs
Place your maskfile next to your "motion.conf" (in /etc/motion) and set the maskfile in your config (syntax: mask_file ).

==== Troubleshooting ====
=== libavformat error ===
"motion: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.53: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"
You might have to install some dependencies
apt-get install -y libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libavformat53 libavformat-dev libavcodec53 libavcodec-dev libavutil51 libavutil-dev libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libmysqlclient18 libmysqlclient-dev libpq5 libpq-dev
If some are not found, try to get the right version for your current distribution via
apt-cache search
=== /dev/video0 not found ===
"vid_v4lx_start: Failed to open video device /dev/video0: No such file or directory"
Activate the module, /dev/video0 should be there afterwards
modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
and add the module to /etc/modules as a new line (persistent)
bcm2835-v4l2
=== libavformat error ===

Motion just stops. If you activated "daemon mode" via config you might need to edit your servicefile.
Edit /lib/systemd/system/motion.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion
to
ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion -n
then
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart motion.service
