NAME

motioneye -- Motion Eye Camera Utility

SYNOPSIS

motioneye [COMMAND]  [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the motioneye command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
motioneye is a program that captures images and movies
with Sony Vaio PictureBook Motion Eye camera. Motioneye requires
the Motion Eye Camera Driver (kernel > 2.4.7) since it uses the
private interface for accessing some extended parameters (camera
sharpness, agc, video framerate), the shapshot and the mjpeg cap
ture facilities.
motioneye can capture ppm or jpg snapshots or mjpeg com
pressed video.
