MOTION VIDEO SURVEILLANCE HELP.

This Pearl Release comes with the Motion Video Surveillance version 4.2.2-1pearl7.3

We debianized (made debian package .deb) and added a Basic Camera Viewer. One 2up
and one for 4 up.

The system upon first boot starts. In other words it's ready out of the box with the
only exeption is your acual IP address for your computer if not the same as setup
on our LAN. We are using the 192.168.1.0 network and is one of the most common. Others
are 192.168.0.1 etc. The location of the camera monitor is at /opt/pearl/mcm. There 
you will find 2 files for the 2 up monitor 2 files for the 4 up. The HTML file is where
you will change the IP address if it is not the same. The 2 up and 4 up monitoring are
both set to monitor only one camera that is attached to the odroid C2 itself. The others
are being pulled from other computers on your LAN running motion itself. You can doenload
and install our version of Motion from our repositories at: 
http://apt.pearllinux.com/pool/main/m/motion/motion_4.2.2-1pearl7.3_arm64.deb for the C2
also available in other archs at http://apt.pearllinux.com/pool/main/m/motion/

HEADS UP!!!!
Because the video surveillance starts at boot, the directory /var/lib/motion will be
adding pictures and short video clips to that directory automatically. If using a 16 gig
microsd card you will want to watch that directory because it can fill up that card quick.

You can change any directives including turning the automatic creation of these files
in the main Motion config file located at /etc/motion/montion.conf

More to come.
