PI Critter Cam Day 16: Better Pictures

I set up the critter cam yesterday afternoon after adjusting the setup.py file in the pi-timolo folder to rotate the pictures 180 degrees and take pictures at a 1080 x 1920 resolution.  Luckily, a bird came by to test out the new settings.



The picture looks MUCH better!  However, we have a couple issue where it's taking and keeping a TON of pictures and it's overwriting all of the previous pictures.  

So, within the setup.py file, I'm going to change the threshold setting to 50, which should make the picture taker less sensitive.  I'm also going to change motionnumon to False so it'll use a date/time stamp to name the file.  I'm also change motionnummax to 0 in case it's using that setting as justification to delete stuff out there.  

We'll set it out again tomorrow morning to see how it does.  This time, I'll try setting it on the ground.

I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com
