Post subject:  Working Motion + QuickCam Express + R5C7

The Newest version of R5C7 has motion installed and working.. So all you need to do is getting a working webcam. I choose the quickcam express, because i had one lying around.. Following
the directions at



1. plugged in the camera
2.
Code:
#lsusb 
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express

Referencing the quickcam driver website, I was good to go

3. downloaded and installed the driver directions according to the website
directions
Code:
#wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qce-ga/qc-usb-0.6.4.tar.gz
    #tar zxvf qc-usb-0.6.4.tar.gz
    #cd qc-usb-0.6.4/
    #./quickcam.sh

4. Configuring and testing motion, ensuring the right video device was setup. In my case this was /dev/video2
Code:
#nano /etc/motion/motion.conf

Code:
#/etc/init.d/motion start


5. Checking to make sure it was working, pointed my browser to my mythbox:
Code:
http://mythbox/motion/index.html


6. Ensured that everything was working,
Code:
   
#update-rc.d motion defaults 80


The only thing left to do is to ensure that the quickcam drivers are loaded on startup..

I hope this helps,

prosonik
