scratchImageWidth = 100     ; The smaller this is the quicker we can  check pixels & lower the memory use
scratchImageHeight = 75     ; too small and we lose too much quality. THe defaults seem to work fine

hrs_to_loop = 8             ; this is approximate. 0 = never quit/run indefinitely
picture_threshold = 15      ; how much the pixel has changed by before it's marked as different

# http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=391583#p391583
# you might want to comment directly in that thread as I just added 
# Kesthal's logic to the uploader (and changed it to read values from an ini file)

# areaX1 = start pixel on left side,end pixel on right side
# areaX2 = start pixel on top side,stop pixel on bottom side
# these pixels are NOT zero-based, the first pixel is 1 and the last pixel is scratchImageWidth or scratchImageHeight

areaX1 = 1, 100     ; one side of the square to monitor for movement is from pixel 1 to pixel 100
areaY1 = 1, 75      ; other side of square is pixel 1 to 75 -- basically the whole image!
# Note that the final value (100,75) should not exceed scratchImageWidth & scratchImageHeight.


# you can define areas, where the script should scan for changed pixel
# for example, if your picture looks like this:
#
#     ....XXXX
#     ........
#     ........
#
# "." is a street or a house, "X" are trees which move arround like crazy when the wind is blowing
# because of the wind in the trees, there will be taken photos all the time. to prevent this, your setting 
# might look like this:
# areaX1 = 1, 50
# areaY1 = 1, 75
# areaX2 = 51, 100
# areaY2 = 26, 75   ; area y=1 to 25 not scanned in x=51 to 100
# Note that the areaX# & areaY# need to be consecutive. The code does not care what you call it, 
# just that it is sequential :) Naming it areaX# & Y# is purely so it is more human redable
# The areas to monitor can overlap. So you can do something like:
# areaX1 = 20, 45
# areaY1 = 10, 60
# areaX2 = 1, 40
# areaY2 = 5, 50

# even more complex example
# areaX1 = 1, 39
# areaY1 = 1, 75
# areaX2 = 40, 67
# areaY2 = 43, 75
# areaX3 = 68, 85
# areaY3 = 48, 75
# areaX4 = 86, 100
# areaY4 = 41, 75

# in debug mode, a file debug.bmp is written to disk with marked changed pixel an with marked border of scan-area
# debug mode should only be turned on while testing the parameters above
