I have posted some details about this some time ago, but here I go again:
- using AllBest's build, might as well use any build with Motion Detection.
- if daytime surveillance is what you want then you can leave the camera on AUTO or P (with some override) and run the script
- if nighttime surveillance is what you want then you should set ISO as high as possible and preferably set time override; this is because if a picture takes too long then MD is auto-triggered until batteries are depleted
- set the mode to burst (high speed) and set the script to make continuous photos for 2-3 seconds once motion is triggered, to have a clear picture of what has happened
- switch to viewfinder to conserve battery power (my 4x2700mAh accus last about 5 hours)
- find a way to connect a DC converter to your camera if using for prolonged periods of time
- frame your picture correctly using the viewfinder
- manual focus your camera
- finally, once everything is set up, run the script and try to trigger the MD by waving your hand to see if everything is working correctly and camera is not self-triggering
I will post some settings I use, but later
