Re: [Motion-user] Disable motion detection

[<sh...@op...>]

Hi,

And thanks for taking the time to answer. I can see your point. However, 
motion does two things very well:

1. It can record to a file and stream to a http port at the same time.
2. It can overlay date/time and other information on the recorded video 
in a simple to configure manner.

I couldn't find another Linux command line software which does this - 
that is why I prefer using motion although I don't use the motion 
detection features.

Also, could I configure one of the threshold options to at least do the 
least amount of work while it detects motion? (sort of reduce motion 
detection to a minimum)
