Camera > Motion Detection: internal

Camera > Buffer: 4000

Camera > Preview Quality: 15

Quality is the jpeg compression factor (0-100). Lower numbers give better compression at the expense of quality. It is set to 25 by default which gives pretty good compression and not too much degradation. You can try lowering it to say 15 which will significantly lower sizes further but you will start to see some degradation. Lower than this it will start to get bad.

Divider is the rate at which new data is fetched. It is the video fps (default 25) divided by 'Divider'. Nominally that would mean it is trying to update at 25fps but in practice other delays lower this a bit. Increasing the divider lowers the fetch frame rate so 3 would give a nominal rate of 8fps. This will also have a dramatic effect on bandwidth.

Custom annotation

%h:%m:%s %a

Use %a, this references /dev/shm/mjpeg/user_annotate.txt

Use a cron job to update this file automatically (eg for day of week):

sudo crontab -e

  * * * * * date +"\%a \%d \%b \%Y"  > /dev/shm/mjpeg/user_annotate.txt

Change site name/page title

sudo nano /var/www/html/config.php

define('CAM_STRING',"pi-camera");
