安装完后第一次运行motion命令会在etc下生成一个motion.conf默认配置文件，需要修改的几处配置说明
daemon off
stream_localhost off //此处修改为off，否则无法登陆默认8081端口的监控页面
webcontrol_localhost off //此处修改为off，否则无法登陆默认8080端口的配置页面
quiet on
locate_motion_mode on #探测到图像中有运动时，把运动区域用矩形框起来
videodevice /dev/video0
width 320
height 240
framerate 25
quality 85
auto_brightness off
target_dir /tmp/cam1 //默认保存位置需要修改，否则运行出错
以下部分摘自网络
关于这些配置的具体意义，参见motion官方wikihttp://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome中的Config options。这里，我只对其中几个解释一下。
daemon off，关掉deamon模式。最好这项还是选off，否则运行motion后，就会直接在后台运行，需要用top命令查看出motion的进程号（pid），然后再手动kill掉这个进程。
locate on设置探测到图像中有运动时，把运动区域用矩形框起来。
videodevice /dev/video0 设置加载USB摄像头的设备，一般都是这个video0，当使用network webcam时，需要设置netcam_url，此时，videodevice选项自动失效。
threshold_tune off设置是否使用motion detection阈值自动调节。当设置为on时，下一个设置threshold 4500自动失效。设置off时，可以由threshold指定当探测到多少像素变化时，判断为图像中有运动。
ffmpeg_cap_new on这个选项是指，在detect到运动时，用视频纪录下来。
ffmpeg_video_codec msmpeg4 设定视频的编码器
target_dir /root/motion/snapshots当探测到运动时，图片和视频的保存路径，默认时为/var/lib/motion/snapshots。
snapshot_interval 1设定自动采集图片的周期，当有运动被检测到时，采集频率会自动变高。
on_event_start /root/motion/on_motion_detected当探测到运动时，执行所设定目录里的文件，这里设定为文件/root/motion/on_motion_detected，该文件可以是一个程序，可以是一段脚本，只要是能执行的就可以。
on_event_end /root/motion/on_motion_end当on_event_start开始后，即检测到运动后， 若有连续10秒不再能检测到运动时，执行该选项设定的文件。10秒参数是由以下gap 10语句设置而来。
以上两个设置参见http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ExternalCommands
gap 10设置，在探测到运动后，多长时间没有运动的话就触发运动结束指令on_event_end。
这里我的on_motion_detected和on_motion_end都是shell脚本。
on_motion_detected脚本的作用是，记录下探测到运动时的时间，即拍摄的监控视频文件的文件名的一部分。把这个时间存到/root/tmp/videotime文件中。on_motion_detected文件如下：
#!/bin/bash
echo "111111111111111on_motion_detected1111111111111111"
DATE=$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
#DATE=$(date -d "-1 sec" +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
ALARM_TIME="/root/tmp/videotime"
echo "$DATE" > $ALARM_TIME
而on_motion_end就是用来发送邮件的。它会在检测到的运动结束后，讲拍下来的运动的avi视频发送到指定邮箱里。avi视频的文件名为一个序号+检测到运动的时间+.avi，而检测到运动的时间，根据on_motion_detected脚本，存在/root/tmp/videotime里，理论上说只要从文件里读出时间，然后补全文件名（该序号由*号替代），便能发出邮件。但是，由于程序运动效率原因，有时会出现，记录的时间同开始录avi的时间差1秒的情况，虽然只有一秒，但是足以导致找不到avi文件，无法正确发出监控视频。由于我们设置了gap为10，即10秒内最多只有一个视频。所以，解决这个问题的办法可以是，去寻找videotime中所记录时间及其上一秒，连续两秒的视频，找到哪个发哪个。当然，结果永远是只会找到一个。on_motion_end这个shell脚本文件如下：
#!/bin/bash
echo "111111111111111on_motion_end1111111111111111"
DIRC="/root/motion/snapshots/"
VIDEOTIME="/root/tmp/videotime"
TIME=$(cat $VIDEOTIME)
ALARM_EMAIL="/root/tmp/myalarm.txt"
echo "Subject: Motion detected - $TIME - $DIRC" > $ALARM_EMAIL
echo "">> $ALARM_EMAIL
echo "Motion detected - check $TIME.avi">>$ALARM_EMAIL
MAILBODY=$(cat $ALARM_EMAIL)
#first trying of sending the avi video
echo $MAILBODY | mutt -s $TIME -a $DIRC*$TIME.avi skpsun@163.com
#second trying of sending the avi video
TIME=$(expr $TIME - 1)
echo $MAILBODY | mutt -s $TIME -a $DIRC*$TIME.avi skpsun@163.com
当然，在能成功自动发送邮件前，先要确认是否正确安装配置了mailx和ssmtp。否则，需要先安装这两个程序。
# apt-get install mailx ssmtp
然后在/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf里如下进行配置：
In /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf, set the following:
root=youraccount@gmail.com
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587
rewriteDomain=
hostname=smtp.gmail.com:587
UseSTARTTLS=YES
AuthUser=youraccount
AuthPass=yourpasword
FromLineOverride=YES # optional
In /etc/ssmtp/revaliases:
root:youraccount@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587
mainuser:youraccount@gmail.com:smtp.gmail.com:587
并在命令行里输入
# mail youraccount@gmail.com进行测试，写完邮件正文后按ctrl+D发送
这样编译成的motion是没有视频编码功能的，要想将监控程序保存成视频文件，还要进行下面的更改。
重新配置motion之前还要先做好FFmpeg的编译准备工作。
先去下载FFmpeg
https://github.com/dwbuiten/FFmpeg
解压进入FFmpeg的目录，运行:
./configure --enable-memalign-hack --disable-debug --prefix=/${PWD}/_install / （自定义安装目录，我是直接安装源码下）
(FFmpeg的编译详细参数参考http://www.cnblogs.com/ohmytime/ ... peg-build-help.html)
在配置的时候会提示找不到yasm的错误（我的fedora 10是这样的，具体错误原因记不住了。。。）
去下载一个编译安装就好了：https://github.com/yasm/yasm
(安装方法：解压进入yasm,运行./autogen.sh 然后make && make install即可)
再执行
make
make install
进入到 _install目录下可以看到生成的库文件以及可执行文件。可以测试一下_install/bin目录下的ffplay 播放器
ffplay /home/test.mp4(视频文件为自己指定的文件)
如果成功播放视频则表示FFmpeg库编译成功。接下来的工作会用到这个_install目录
进入到motion目录执行：
make distclean
/configure --prefix=/${PWD}/_install / --with-ffmpeg=FFmpeg/_install/ (这个就是刚才编译的库文件的目录)
make
在这一步会遇到一个错：/FFmpeg-master/libavformat/matroskadec.c:1173: undefined reference to `BZ2_bzDecompressInit'
解决办法是修改Makefile的第35行：
LIBS = -lm -lpthread -lSDL -lpthread -ljpeg -L/home/qin/FFmpeg-master/_install/lib -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lm -lz -lsqlite3 -lbz2
(最后的红色字体部分是新加上的)
重新make即可
make && make install
安装成功后保证motion.conf配置文件正确的情况下运行motion:
./motion
可以在电脑的浏览器上打开server的IP地址，也就是linux的ip地址，例如我的是
192.168.1.100:8080 （这个地址是motion的配置页面，里面有很多motion的配置选项）
192.168.1.100:8081 （这个是motion的网络监控地址）
motion还有很多功能，比如：
on_event_start /root/detected #当该事件产生时执行detected脚本,该脚本是简单的可执行shell脚本，下同
on_event_end /root/end #当该事件产生时执行end脚本
gap 5 #设置，在探测到运动后，多长时间没有运动的话就触发运动结束指令on_event_end。
还可以设置报警等功能。

编辑/etc/default/motion，将start_motion_daemon=no改为start_motion_daemon=yes可以让你的Motion作为后台程序运行。现在Motion将会在每次开机后自动启动，你可以像任何后台进程一样开始和结束Motion。

可以直接apt-get install motion并且ffmpeg也直接安装上了
motion 简介：
它是一个开源的linux下的 视频监控软件，主要功能有：
1.web远程监控
2.动作探测报警，当有人或物体进入摄像区域，则启动触发脚本，如发送邮件短信之类的通知客户
3.可以录像保存证据
4.开源地址 http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion）
先去下载源代码：https://github.com/sackmotion/motion
1.下载motion 源码
orangepi@orangepi:~/app/motion/motion$ git clone https://github.com/sackmotion/motion.git
2.下载FFmpeg库
git clone https://github.com/dwbuiten/FFmpeg.git
3.安装必要的库，否则编译可能会出错
sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install make
4.开始编译
进入 FFmpeg
编译：
./configure
./make
./make install
进入motion
同上
./configure
./make
./make install
5.配置motion，插上USB摄像头
直接输入 motion 启动
#motion orangepi@orangepi:~/app/motion/motion$ motion

发现提示 在/usr/local/etc/motion.conf缺少配置文件，那我们就配置下。
应该就有一些信息输出了，但是还需要做一些配置，查看配置文件：
orangepi@orangepi:~/app/motion/motion$ ls *.conf
motion-dist.conf thread1.conf thread2.conf thread3.conf thread4.conf
发现
motion-dist.conf
