I would like to be able increase the motion detection sensitivity to possibly have it still detect in dark conditions.
I wouldn't expect it to detect in pitch darkness, but with some ambient light (moon, streetlights..)
I've played with setting the iso and exposure settings to try to increase the sensitivity, but so far no luck.
I also tried playing with the md thresholds.
I haven't had time to really work on scripting to achieve this, but I wondered if doing
shoot_half
before the md_detect_motion would give it better night vision?
I envisioned a script that would set all the exposure parameters to high
(high iso, long shutter, wide aperture..)
do md_detect_motion,
and then re-set the exposure to 'auto' with a flash to get a good picture.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
