Settings

Settings are found at /mnt/WRdisk/settings.txt.
The /mnt/WRdisk/ location is only folder which can be writen even with the overlay function active. All the other folders not hold their data after a reboot. See the overlay item for more information.

You have the following settings:

setting	Description
[Section1]	Identifier, don't change.
cam_name = 1	The camera number will appear in your emails (in case you have more cameras active).
email = none	Your personal e-mail address where the e-mails will be sent. None disables email notification.
gmail = johndoe123@gmail.com	Your gmail account used for storage and re-directing emails.
recording = 1	1 enables recording, 0 disables recording.
rec_prolong = 10	Extends the recording by x seconds after an event. It avoids a succession of tiny recordings: the postman rings - the postman leaves (to check the back door) - the postman comes back on the scene (no one at the back door) - the postman leaves (writes a note in his car) - the postman comes back - and so on.
set_trigger = 1.4	Threshold to set a detect motion event. Use the diagnosis screen to get an idea of what percentage you should take. Guarding your backyard requires different thresholds than the front doorbell.
reset_trig = 0.1	Threshold to reset a motion event.
no_sec_mail = 90	After an email is sent, no second email within x seconds. (No need for an avalanche of emails once your kid has let the dog loose in the backyard).
gdrive = 1	1 enables Gdrive storage, 0 disables storage.
up_and_del = 1	1 deletes a recording from the Raspberry Pi (SD card or USB stick) once uploaded to Gdrive. Recordings are temporarily stored in /dev/shm/rec/. Highly recommended! 0 saves all recordings in /home/pi/Videos, which will eventually take up all the space on your system. If not taken care of often, your Raspberry PI will crash due to memory shortage.
