<p>For your setup we need to modify the file <code>/etc/motion/motion.conf</code>. For now the most important parameters are <code>videodevice</code>, <code>snapshot_interval</code>, and <code>target_dir</code>. We are going to use the device <code>/dev/video1</code>, use a 30 seconds interval, and set the path to <code>/tmp</code>. Edit <code>/etc/motion/motion.conf</code> or use <code>sed</code>.</p>
