[Motion-user] Prolems with spurious light detections

[Misha K. <mk1...@bc...>]

Hi, I emailed previously about lots of spurious light detections using
the motion program and was advised to lower the lightswitch parameter to
the 30-70 range which seemed to help. However, I still had lots of
detections and eventually was able to "get rid" of the problem by
increasing mininum_motion_frames to 6. This gets rid of spurious
detection, but also seems to inhibit a lot of detection.

In any case, I've lowered minimum_motion_frames to 2 but get the
spurious detections again. Anything I can do? I've zipped up the images
captured today with the motion frames

and have attached my motion.conf file to this email. Any help will be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much
Misha

p.s. I realize it looks like a mask on the right-hand slither that is
detected may be a solution, but I'd like to avoid this is possible as
the camera is not fixed and if I accidentally bump it I feel like the
mask would have to be changed each time.
