Modify "Activity Zone"

[anndrewww]

Has anyone had any luck modifying "etc/ui.conf" to change motion detection area/sensitivity/etc with "yi-hack" installed?

motion_mode=1
motion_left=428
motion_right=557
motion_top=0
motion_bottom=88
motion_resolution=5
motion_sensitivity=0

EDIT:

My working values in UI.conf:

motion_mode=1
motion_left=535
motion_right=677
motion_top=8    
motion_bottom=110
motion_resolution=5
motion_sensitivity=0

I was able to modify the motion_[left/right/top/bottom/sensitivity] values using vi over telnet. Make sure that you sync and then reboot to apply the changes.

The resolution appears to be 1280x720, so your max value for motion_right is 1279 and motion_bottom is 719.

I was able to modify it as well, but it doesn't look like it has any effect.

could you please share more details about versions of firmware ? Fox example, I've no motion_* options predefined in ui.conf file

@anndrewww As long as I sync and reboot after modifying the values (before connecting with the app), the app shows that the activity region has been moved. I'm able to trigger motion alerts in the newly-defined area, and alerts do not seem to trigger with motion in the old area.

@ujnatg I'm running 1.8.5.1N_201601071352, which was the version I had to update to in order to be able to pair with the Yi Home app. I can confirm that they were not present when I was running 1.8.5.1M_201512011815, the default version included in this hack (see #152, my PR for updating to the app-required firmware).

@notdone

1. telnet into the camera
2. vi /etc/ui.conf, modify the values as you see fit (to skip to the motion section, you can search "motion_" by typing /motion_ and hitting enter)
3. save and quit vi
4. sync to persist changes to flash memory
5. reboot to restart the Yi and apply the changes

@airdrummingfool

Thanks, I'll try to test that out and see if I can get it working.

@airdrummingfool

Have you been able to control cam being on/off using similar approach ?
