RFS/(ITA): motion - V4L capture program supporting motion detection
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm currently in the process of adopting[1] motion, and for this purpose
I need someone interested in sponsoring uploads of this package[2]. It
is available via mentors.debian.net as well.
I have done a fair amount of work[3] on the package to improve the
quality of it, since it was in rather bad shape when I adopted it. I
welcome any criticism/suggestions.
Package name: motion
Version: 3.1.14
Upstream source: http://motion.sourceforge.net/
Upstream author: Kenneth Lavrsen <kenneth@lavrsen.dk>
License: GPLv2
Description: V4L capture program supporting motion detection
Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from
one or more cameras and is able to detect if a significant
part of the picture has changed. Or in other words, it can
detect motion.
.
Motion is a command line based tool. It has no graphical
user interface. Everything is setup either via the
command line or via configuration files.
.
The output from motion can be:
- jpg files
- ppm format files
- mpeg video sequences
.
Also, motion has its own minimalistic web server. Thus,
you can access the webcam output from motion via a browser.
