Snapshot Start Time

Question

I'm using motion to do a snapshot every 24 hours. Everything works great. But, the snapshot occurs at 1900 hours every day, and I would like to change it to 1200 hours every day instead. How do I modify the time away from 1900, but still only take a snapshot every 24 hours?

I have no errors.

Environment

Motion version:	3.2.12
ffmpeg version:
Libraries:	ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS:	Raspbian

Answer

You can use external script to trigger motion snapshot. Just schedule this command using cron:

curl -s http://localhost:8080/0/action/snapshot > /dev/null
