To use the motion service properly, you should edit
/usr/local/etc/motion/motion.conf
according to your needs.
To set up your capture device (if using BKTR):
1. Load the bktr modules
Type as root:
kldload bktr_mem.ko
kldload bktr.ko
You can setup this in your /boot/loader.conf adding:
bktr_mem_load="YES"
bktr_load="YES"
2. Configure your card settings (tuner type, format, and card)
Type as root:
sysctl hw.bt848.card=1 ( Miro pctv )
sysctl hw.bt848.tuner=10 ( PHILIPS_FR1216_PAL )
sysctl hw.bt848.format=0 ( PAL )
or add to /etc/sysctl.conf adding:
hw.bt848.card=1
hw.bt848.tuner=10
hw.bt848.format=0
To automatically start the service at boot time,
add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
motion_enable="YES"
Then, to start the service right now without reboot, execute
service motion start
