motion sending to much images for 1 motion alert #897

Hey,

i'm using motion on raspberry pi2 using OS Raspbian version 9.6

the version of motion is the lastest (i used wget to install the latest raspberry deb file)

the config i used is an older one but it isn't the problem i think, since i have the problem allready from the older versions.

the motion is sending motion images from my ip camera and mails it to me
but for a motion (it sends 8 images in other file names but the same moving frame)
in all diffirent mails.

So if a motion is triggerd i get something like 8 mails with 1 image file in 1 mail all with the same thing
if a new motion is detected i get 8 more and so it goes on till no motion isn't found.

the system works great but why 8 identical image files (other file names)
it whould be great if i only had 1 mail.
But i don't find out how or what is causing my problem.

this is my config file i changed some lines like ip and login pass and mailadress:

`# Rename this distribution example file to motion.conf

This config file was generated by motion 4.0

to capture from those supported by your videodevice. (default: 17)

E.g. if your videodevice supports both V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR8 and

V4L2_PIX_FMT_MJPEG then motion will by default use V4L2_PIX_FMT_MJPEG.

Setting v4l2_palette to 2 forces motion to use V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR8

instead.

The auto_brightness feature uses the brightness option as its target value.

If brightness is zero auto_brightness will adjust to average brightness value 128.

Only recommended for cameras without auto brightness

auto_brightness off

Set the initial brightness of a video device.

If auto_brightness is enabled, this value defines the average brightness level

Recommended value is EedDl. Any combination (and number of) of E, e, d, and D is valid.

(l)abeling must only be used once and the 'l' must be the last letter.

Comment out to disable

despeckle_filter EedDl

Detect motion in predefined areas (1 - 9). Areas are numbered like that: 1 2 3

A script (on_area_detected) is started immediately when motion is 4 5 6

detected in one of the given areas, but only once during an event. 7 8 9

One or more areas can be specified with this option. Take care: This option

does NOT restrict detection to these areas! (Default: not defined)

; area_detect value

PGM file to use as a sensitivity mask.

Full path name to. (Default: not defined)

mask_file /home/pi/mask/maskcamera205.pgm

Dynamically create a mask file during operation (default: 0)

Adjust speed of mask changes from 0 (off) to 10 (fast)

smart_mask_speed 0

Ignore sudden massive light intensity changes given as a percentage of the picture

area that changed intensity. Valid range: 0 - 100 , default: 0 = disabled

lightswitch 0

Picture frames must contain motion at least the specified number of frames

in a row before they are detected as true motion. At the default of 1, all

motion is detected. Valid range: 1 to thousands, recommended 1-5

minimum_motion_frames 1

Specifies the number of pre-captured (buffered) pictures from before motion

was detected that will be output at motion detection.

Recommended range: 0 to 5 (default: 0)

Do not use large values! Large values will cause Motion to skip video frames and

cause unsmooth movies. To smooth movies use larger values of post_capture instead.

pre_capture 0

Number of frames to capture after motion is no longer detected (default: 0)

post_capture 0

Event Gap is the seconds of no motion detection that triggers the end of an event.

An event is defined as a series of motion images taken within a short timeframe.

Recommended value is 60 seconds (Default). The value -1 is allowed and disables

events causing all Motion to be written to one single movie file and no pre_capture.

If set to 0, motion is running in gapless mode. Movies don't have gaps anymore. An

event ends right after no more motion is detected and post_capture is over.

event_gap 0

Maximum length in seconds of a movie

When value is exceeded a new movie file is created. (Default: 0 = infinite)

max_movie_time 0

Always save images even if there was no motion (default: off)

emulate_motion off

output_pictures on

Output pictures with only the pixels moving object (ghost images) (default: off)

output_debug_pictures off

The quality (in percent) to be used by the jpeg compression (default: 75)

ffmpeg_output_movies off

Use ffmpeg to make movies with only the pixels moving

object (ghost images) (default: off)

Use ffmpeg to encode a timelapse movie

Default value 0 = off - else save frame every Nth second

The file rollover mode of the timelapse video

Valid values: hourly, daily (default), weekly-sunday, weekly-monday, monthly, manual

ffmpeg_timelapse_mode daily

Bitrate to be used by the ffmpeg encoder (default: 400000)

This option is ignored if ffmpeg_variable_bitrate is not 0 (disabled)

ffmpeg_bps 400000

Enables and defines variable bitrate for the ffmpeg encoder.

ffmpeg_bps is ignored if variable bitrate is enabled.

Valid values: 0 (default) = fixed bitrate defined by ffmpeg_bps,

or the range 1 - 100 where 1 means worst quality and 100 is best.

ffmpeg_variable_bitrate 0

Codec to used by ffmpeg for the video compression.

Timelapse videos have two options.

mpg - Creates mpg file with mpeg-2 encoding.

If motion is shutdown and restarted, new pics will be appended

to any previously created file with name indicated for timelapse.

mpeg4 - Creates avi file with the default encoding.

If motion is shutdown and restarted, new pics will create a

new file with the name indicated for timelapse.

Supported formats are:

mpeg4 or msmpeg4 - gives you files with extension .avi

msmpeg4 is recommended for use with Windows Media Player because

it requires no installation of codec on the Windows client.

swf - gives you a flash film with extension .swf

flv - gives you a flash video with extension .flv

ffv1 - FF video codec 1 for Lossless Encoding

mov - QuickTime

mp4 - MPEG-4 Part 14 H264 encoding

mkv - Matroska H264 encoding

hevc - H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

The idea is that %C can be used filenames and text_left/right for creating

a unique identifier for each event.

camera config files - One for each camera.

Except if only one camera - You only need this config file.

If you have more than one camera you MUST define one camera

config file for each camera in addition to this config file.

##############################################################

Remember: If you have more than one camera you must have one

camera file for each camera. E.g. 2 cameras requires 3 files:

This motion.conf file AND camera1.conf and camera2.conf.

Only put the options that are unique to each camera in the

camera config files.

#camera /etc/motion/camera1.conf
; camera /etc/motion/camera2.conf
; camera /etc/motion/camera3.conf
; camera /etc/motion/camera4.conf

##############################################################

Camera config directory - One for each camera.

##############################################################

; camera_dir /etc/motion/conf.d
and the file that is emptying images to prevent not sending all images again on restart or other things#!/bin/bash
sleep 15 # wait a second just to be sure
rm -rf /home/pi/pictures/*

That is the option if you only want a picture. First/best, etc. The multiple emails are multiple images that were tagged as having motion in comparison to the reference frame. The other option would be to send a movie instead.
