The motion port to *BSD is still in very beta state, buthas been tested with network cameras support successfully.This version has been tested with TV Card ( Miro PCTV pro ),but should work by any framegrabber supported by bktr driver. * How configure your capture card *1-. Load the bktr modulestype as root :kldload bktr_mem.kokldload bktr.ko You can setup this in your /boot/loader.conf adding :bktr_mem_load="YES"bktr_load="YES"2-. Configure your card settings ( tuner type , format and card ).Type as root :sysctl hw.bt848.card=1 ( Miro pctv )sysctl hw.bt848.tuner=10 ( PHILIPS_FR1216_PAL )sysctl hw.bt848.format=0 ( PAL )or add to /etc/sysctl.conf adding :hw.bt848.card=1hw.bt848.tuner=10hw.bt848.format=0* To compile motion in FreeBSD ( should work in OpenBSD and NetBSD ) :   autoconf   ./configure   of   CC=gcc34 ./configure ( to override the default gcc version)    gmake   gmake install( ./configure --without-bktr , to work only with network cameras ).Tested in FreeBSD 4.9/4.1x/5.x/6.x .Packages needed (dependencies for 6.x): - autoconf-2.59_2  - gcc-3.4.6_20051206  - m4-1.4.4  - linuxthreads-2.2.3_19 only if you don't want native freebsd pthread  - jpeg-6b_4 or above   - gmake-3.80_2 ( GNU Make ) - ffmpeg-0.4.9.p1_6 ( mpeg1/4 video encoders ). - mysql-server , mysql-client ( database backend support ). - postgresql-devel , postgresql ( database backend support ). - kernel with bktr support ( GENERIC kernel has by default support ). *  webcams pwc based - pwcbsd-1.4.1_1 ( with mmap support ) - v4l_compat-1.0.20060801 run : ./configure --with-pwcbsd ; gmake ; gmake install * TODO *--------- Improve the capture method ( double buffer , async capture ). - Detect pixelformat , palettes format , etc ...- Implement tuner capture ( now only video / svideo capture implemented ).- Code clean up.- And many others ...
