It might be worth starting a separate thread for that specific issue as it may make it more likely to get a response from the MMAL / camera module experts.

Ok, I just started a new thread in this board.

Thanks again for all the help!

Hi everyone, I use a 5-MP-camera together with two IR-led-lamps to watch my garden in the night. The software that I use is RPi Camera Web interface and everything works perfect at daylight. However, a night light the brightness of the images drops gradually and is almost total black after about 2 h...

There is a button on the web interface labelled stop camera. If this is activated the software disconnects from the camera but is still running. The button toggles to start camera. Ah, now I found it (the button was not active until I stopped 'motion detection'). And yes, indeed, with stopping/rest...

Not sure at the moment what could cause this if reboot fixes it. Might be worth trying a stop / start of the camera to see if that does the same thing as that might give a clue as to where any change could lie. This can be done in two ways. First is to do stop camera / start camera from the web int...

Thanks for the fast reply! Ok, I will try your suggestions tonight and report the results.

Thanks for the help!
Oliver

Update: I noticed that the brighntess decrease is not continuous but occurs in several small steps every xxx minutes. Has anyone an idea what could cause this??

Hello, first of all: the RPi Cam Web Interface is an excellent program. It generally works great and it makes fun to use! Now to my problem: I use the camera as a surveillance camera in combination with two IR-LED-Lamps for night vision (this one: https://www.amazon.com/Quimat-Raspberry-Vision-Camer...

Just increase the value of "Still Frames to stop". Where is this setting located? I can't find anything like that on any of the setting tabs. It is in the motion detection settings provided that you have changed the motion detection scheme in the camera settings from "External" to "Internal".

What settings do I need to change in order for the default motion detect setup to continue to record for X seconds after motion has ended.

Just increase the value of "Still Frames to stop".

I have a security question: I have opened the port of the Camera Web Interface in order to get access to the camera from the internet. I have protected the side with a username and password. Is there anything else one could do? What is the maximal damage if a hacker gets access to the camera? Of cou...

im not even using motion detection but if i set it to 300 (wich would actually be 300ms) it seems to append ~3sec ... im pretty sure this is an error or bug, but i wonder if its something on my end. are you using the latest commit? I'm using v6.4.14 and I don't have any concerns with the behavior o...

can anyone tell me if this is a bug or if i am doing something wrong? I use internal motion detection have set the camera buffer in the camera settings to 3000. As described the added amout of time is ~3 sec. So it seems to work.... P.S.: i wonder if it makes sense that everybody posts his question...

Hello, I have a camera where you can switch an infrared filter on or off by changing a GPIO pin status (the GPIO pin is connected to the camera). Now, I have written a python script that determines the local sunrise and sunset time in order to check whether it is dark outside or not and then switche...
