[Motion-user] Best configuration for fixed background/light setting

[Hans <ha...@su...>]

Hello there,

I’m working on an insect trap for scientific purposes. We’re mostly interested in moths and butterflies. They get attracted at nightime with UV lights and trapped in a small box (10x10x10cm). The box is painted blue, has a few LED for lighting and a USB-Camera for detecting presence of a moth and to take the desired picture.

Is there a way to tweak motion for this kind of scenario? 

(On a side track I’m experimenting with a custom motion (presence) detection. There I’m taking a reference picture of the empty box which is working really well, but I’d prefere to use a mature solution like motion on the long run…

Hope somebody has some ideas on this. Have a great Sunday,
Hans
