Thank you for the new netcam_highres option in Motion 4.1. High-res movie file creation (H.264, 720P) and motion detection works fine with an Amcrest camera set with low-res substream (H.264, VGA) enabled. However using the options below at the same time: output_pictures best picture_filename preview ...creates a distorted preview picture. It is green tint and is the same size of the high-res video (1280*720), but it looks like it is composed of two of the low-res images side by side at the top, with a dark green band on the bottom. I can tell it's referencing the low-res feed because I can see the text overlay in the image that the documentation states will not appear on the high-res video when netcam_highres is used. I'm not sure how that could happen because a low-res video is not being recorded. It is only being used to detect motion in this case. In the network cameraX.conf file I set: width 640 height 480 ...to match the low-res feed from the camera Motion is using to detect motion, not matching the resolution of the high-res feed being recorded. I assume that is correct. The best/preview picture works properly without distortion on a cameraX.conf file for a USB camera connected to the same system, where netcam_highres is not in use. Thank you. |
