Motion Detection with RaspiCam, Non-Module version

@dam4 What the hell… ls is the “list” command. It should only show you the listing for the file, including dates and permissions. But it’s… executing.

Just to be sure: pm2 shows two separate processes when you type pm2 status, correct?

@bhepler I copied and pasted exactly what you wrote for the command to make sure I didn’t mistype something.
Yes there are two processes running when I type pm2 status. One is MagicMirror and the other is motion.

Does anyone get it to work on stretch? I tried it but without success.

Hey there,

I have this running for quite some time and it works in general. But after some hours it gets really slow and unresponsiv. A motion need a few seconds before it is detected. I already have enabled a daily reboot, but still these few hours are enough. I also tried only restarting motion via pm2, but this leads to problems. I checked it with pm2 monit and got this:

Can anyone suggest how to correctly restart motion?

@trividar I’m trying to install it right now. You posted 2 months ago. Did you get it running?
