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.
