Re: [Motion-user] Recording Skip

[Stewart A. <san...@gm...>]

I have seen that exact behavior several times. The pattern of when it 
occurred, is that a vehicle moved across the field of view, leaving a 10 
second trail of disruption until the pixels are unchanging long enough 
to End the event. Usually motion records the entire 10 seconds as 
changed pixels, but sometimes does not. Then this behavior is, in that 
10 second period if a second vehicle appears, it is not counted as a new 
change, and gets ignored.

That was during the motion v4.5.x time frame, and since I upgraded to 
4.6 in 2023-Nov, I can't say that I have seen it in a while. Since it is 
not repeatable predictably, I ignored it.

No wifi here, all copper, and top shows motion running. But it is 
running 3 cameras, not 1. Watching the cpu load at the exact time would 
be a challenge.
