I have r5c7 running. I have the out of the box 3.1.19 motion running with a Logitech pro 4000 usb webcam. I would like to add my Toshiba ik-wb01a netcam to the motion pool. However, there seems to be a documented issue with the ik-wb01a netcams so I need to update motion to the current release
3.2.7.

Which version of the deb (Sarge or Sid) should I use with KnoppMyth?

Hi,
I have seen reference in the forum to sarge but I am not sure where to look in the system to confirm the posts.

Just be careful what it updates / removes or you may cause harm to your running machine. The install part doesn't seem to break stuff but the other two sure will. I always abort if it shows other than 0 for either.

That's ok I punted and installed 3.2.7 from source instead of deb.

Got it "sort of" working now with the netcam.

Thanks

Hi,

Source is good too If you discover any extra tricks please share? I did some work / "play" with motion a few weeks past with the stock version but still is a lot to learn. I did post what I was able to figure out as you are aware.

Have a great day
Mike

Hi,
To answer the first question:

Got it going!!

The key was finding the Toshiba API for controlling the camera :

It was also a little less than intuitive that you need a separate <camera>.conf file for each camera PLUS the motion.conf file. The directions only have a one sentence mention on the main motion guide page.

The following link has a meatier explanation :

Seems to work quite well. Know for learning about all the options motion makes available....

Thanks
