Modect stops detecting

Hi,

I'm running 1.24.2 and set up with a webcam to monitor an outside view. These are always more tricky than inside views. Anyway, it took me a while to adjust the sensitivity etc.

So i had it detecting as you'd expect. Then i leave it running and 24 hours later, it's not detecting anymore, even with blatent content (jumping up and down). So i adjust the sensitivity a bit and still nothing.

But when i change the setting from Modect to something else and then back, it's all working again, even with the original sensitivity settings !

anyone else have this?

i'm going to leave it running and see if this is a one off or not....

check with 'top' if zma still runs - maybe it stalls and does not get restarted automatically (zma=analyze process / zmc=capture process)

also check the option/setting where it says 'restart capture daemon after ... seconds'

Thanks, it looks like i have that option checked already.

Since yesterday, it's been ok. i'm going to keep an eye on it over the next few days.
