I am using a new RPI5 and bookworm with a motion detector and a V2 camera attached. The following code has two alternative lines, each beginning with "os.system." When I hash out the second one, the first one successfully takes a photo and stores it when motion is detected.
When I hash out the first one, the second one seems to be taking a video; when I move my fingers in front of the camera, I can see them moving on my screen. However, the video is not saved. I should say that a file is saved with the appropriate name, but when played in VLC, I see my hand for only a tiny fraction of a second and then I see the VLC blank screen.
