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

It's suggested that you adjust at least `width` and `height` to get a bigger image from your camera. Now fire up `motion`.
