# The multimedia/motion port

## motion-3.2.12.20150126 – motion detection software for video

## Description

    Motion is a C program that monitors the video signal from one or
    more V4L2/video(4) cameras or network-based webcams, and is able to
    detect if a significant part of the picture has changed. Or in
    other words, it can detect motion.

    Motion is a command line based tool. It has absolutely no graphical
    user interface. Everything is setup either via the command line or
    via a set of configuration files (simple ASCII files that can be
    edited by any ASCII editor).

    Motion can output JPEG/PPM images and MPEG video sequences, call
    external programs, log to a database, etc.

    Motion hasn't had an official release for some time; at present,
    this package uses the forked code at https://github.com/Mr-Dave/motion/
