Snapshots - The Traditional Periodic Web Camera

Motion can also act like a traditional web camera.

snapshot_interval

  • Type: Integer
  • Range / Valid values: 0 - 2147483647
  • Default: 0 (disabled)
  • Option Topic

Make automated snapshots every 'snapshot_interval' seconds.

The snapshots are stored in the target directory + the directory/filename specified by the snapshot_filename option.

This is the traditional web camera feature where a picture is taken at a regular interval independently of motion in the picture.

See the also snapshot_filename option in the section Advanced Filenames.
