threshold_tune

• Type: Boolean
• Range / Valid values: on, off
• Default: off
• Option Topic

Activates the automatic tuning of threshold level. ( It's broken )

This feature makes Motion continuously adjust the threshold for declaring motion.

The threshold setting is ignored when activating this feature. It may give different results depending on your camera, light conditions, indoor/outdoor, the motion to be detected etc. If it does not work well, deactivate the 'threshold_tune' option and use the manual setting of threshold instead.

"The threshold setting is ignored when activating this feature."

Not sure if this is a documentation or software bug but with 3.2.3 using threshold_tune on, the results are heavily dependend on threshold setting. Ie. setting threshold_tune on and threshold to 100 i get results i'm looking for but with threshold for example 2000 it doesn't detect any motion. Maybe i'm doing something wrong then? I can't say whether it (threshold_tune) works well or not because of the threshold effecting the result.
