Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from cameras.
It is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed; in other words, it can detect motion. :)
If you own a webcam from this list you can attach it to the AsusWRT routers usb port and capture images from it when motion is detected, like baby room, garage, courtyard...
It's only for arm devices like RT-AC56U, RT-AC68U, RT-AC87U, RT-AC88U, RT-AC3200, RT-AC5300...

Press ENTER
3 - Download and load UVC Modules (if you have a different firmware version, use this guide to compile modules or ask someone on forums)
cd /
tar -zxvf /opt/tmp/uvc_modules-380.65_4-loop.tgz
rm /opt/tmp/uvc_modules-380.65_4-loop.tgz
/opt/etc/init.d/S20videomod start
4 - Install Motion
5 - Replace motion configuration file
6 - Change target dir path, where recorded videos and pictures are stored
sed -i 's|target_dir /.*|target_dir /opt/motion|g' "/opt/etc/motion.conf"
7 - Start motion
8 - Perform a movement in the front of your webcam.
9 - Go to the folder you setup at point 6 and you'll find pictures captured by webcam and some .avi files which can be opened with any media player.
10 - If you want to enable live stream:
/opt/etc/init.d/S99motion restart
11 - Go to default router ip address and port :8081 or www.asusrouter.com:8081
To play with other settings like change framerate, enable password authentication, edit /opt/etc/motion.conf and don't forget to restart motion to take effect.
