This is just some demo code to test motion tracking using python picamera2 libcam, picamera legacy Camera, rtsp IP camera or USB Webcam. On completion of a successful track an image is saved in ./media/images Optional tracking history can be displayed on images as contour center point circles or contour rectangles. Images can be viewed on web browser via provided webserver.py run in foreground or background. Program user settings are saved in the config.py file.

ctrl-x y

Open putty SSH or Terminal session then execute command below.

cd ~/motrack2
./motrack2.py

If camera is working motion tracking logging information will be displayed.

Webserver.py will display saved motrack images from any network device using a web browser.

To Run in Foreground open a new SSH or Terminal Session then execute command below.

./webserver.py

NOTE browser URL:PORT for accessing MoTrack web page will be displayed. ctrl-c exits.

To Run in Background execute command below in current SSH or Terminal Session. Then execute motrack.py in same terminal session per above.
