Disable motion detection upon exposure adjustment

see a device that we do not currently have and think we should research in to let us know here. The same goes for features on devices If there is a feature we don't have that you would like please request it here and it will be passed along to the R&D team.

Disable motion detection upon exposure adjustment

Post by danwithacam »

This happens all the time, and reading around is a big bugbear for a lot of people.

Every time the lighting changes and the camera adjusts its exposure, it thinks it's OWN ADJUSTMENT is movement!

This is ridiculous and so easy to fix with a simple bit of code, which takes the logic of "when camera adjusts exposure, disable motion detection for 2 seconds".

Easy.

Not sure how one would go about easily stopping false positives based on people's shadows from low sun or moving headlights, but at least this would cut out a whole load of false positives from constantly changing cloud cover, or the street lights coming on, etc.

Maybe go as far as to add a safeguard, so that if the camera adjusts its exposure multiple times in rapid succession (say twice within 4 seconds) then it registers it as movement, in case someone is deliberately shining a torch at it.

Thoughts?
