How to force trigger motion detection?

[lme]

Want to test video / still / upload settings.

How do I "force trigger" the Motion detection.

I am remote so cannot wave my hand infront of the camera.

NB coming from a HW engineering background I'm use to the fact all the oscilloscopes have a "Force Trigger" button ;)

Enable Web control of motion:

sudo nano /etc/motioneye/motion.conf (for motionEye on another OS)

sudo nano /data/etc/motion.conf (for motionEyeOS)

change line: webcontrol_localhost on to off (to let you do testing from another machine)

'ctrl x' 'y' 'enter' to save

to trigger camera 1 on:

curl " http://ip_address_motioneye:7999/1/config/set?emulate_motion=1"

To turn off:

curl " http://localhost:7999/1/config/set?emulate_motion=1"

you can use wget or web browser, too...
