Auto-brightness and Bullseye

[A. A. J. Raateland]

I have a standard raspberry pi camera on a pi4, which I recently upgraded to bullseye.

The pi is running motioneye on raspberry pi os.

Now a problem has come up in that the pictures are often much too bright. Switching auto-brightness on and off, not even applying in between, corrects this, but the problem starts again at some time. 

At this point I cannot give more exact info. 

Before Bullseye there was no problem with brightness (auto-brightness off). 

The pi is on a ups plus from 52pi (which works ok, controlled by GitHub frtz13's script). It has zram, hardware watchdog, home assistant and Mosquitto, which all eventually survived the upgrade from Buster. 

Just the camera is misbehaving. 

I'd like to get this solved before the end of November, as I will be leaving this camera to watch over my cottage front garden ...

I cannot access the hardware after that. Just access the OS over VNC and SSH. 

Thanks a lot for pointers.

Which set of instructions did you use to install motionEye on RaspberryPiOS?

Or did you do just the OS Upgrade?

[A. A. J. Raateland]

Right .. i remember now. I upgraded to bullseye and read the installation instructions for motioneye and applied the parts which looked essential. I did not remove the old motioneye i think. I winged it, and this is the only problem left ;-) sorry for being so sloppy. 

I'm not close to the pi now, so I cannot recall it's command history to see what I did and didn't do with respect to motioneye.

motionEye on Bullseye is very specific as to what is needed, because the OS upgrade to Bullseye creates a lot of issues. My first step would be to walk through ALL the steps in the instructions for RaspberryPiOS Bullseye at:

Debian (the mother of RaspberryPiOS Bullseye) has cut a LOT of functionality out of Bullseye as compared to Buster (trying to clean it up).
