RPi 3 B+ Bookworm 64bit
OV5647 camera + PIR motion sensor
File1.py records video when motion is detected and saves it as vid.h264
File2.py runs, in my test, every 3 minutes from cron. It converts vid.h264 into vid.mp4, deletes vid.h264 and finally it invokes another python script to upload vid.mp4 to a cloud.
They work okay independently but when File1.py is running without motion detection and File2.py starts executing from cron, File1.py starts detecting motion like
This happens every 3 minutes when cron triggers File2.py
I don't realize what could be happening here.
Thanks in advance for any clue.
