Camera operation defaults after plugging into usb adapter?

0 votes
Since JeVois has all these options, do I need to turn on Motion sensing first before connecting to my USB adapter. After JeVois is connected to the USB adapter, to record motion, how does it know it is in record mode and to record only when  motion is detected. I am not finding those details in the documentation. Please help.

It looks like you have a specific application in mind, like recording and saving video to SD card only when motion is detected. This application will require the following:

- a C++ module that you program, for example, by combining code from the SaveVideo module and maybe the DemoBackgroundSubtract module. If you are not comfortable with that part, we are in the process of building a pool of interested developers and will consider requests given a wish list of what the module should do. Maybe post an answer to this thread with some ideas about what you are trying to achieve:

- Once you have that one installed on your camera, there is a file called initscript.cfg in the config/ directory of the JEVOIS partition on the micro SD where you would specify that you want to use this module by default when JeVois starts up. This is a simple text file that you can modify with any text editor.

Once both of these are done, then your JeVois will start up in that mode each time you power it up, including from a battery.
