Why do we convert images to grayscale in motion detection?
Grayscale simplifies the image data by removing color, making it easier and faster to compare frames for changes.

What is the first step in motion detection using a camera on Raspberry Pi?
✗ Incorrect
Motion detection starts by capturing video frames to analyze changes.
Why do we compare consecutive frames in motion detection?
✗ Incorrect
Comparing frames helps detect changes that indicate motion.
Which format simplifies image data for faster processing in motion detection?
✗ Incorrect
Grayscale removes color, making it easier to detect changes.
What does thresholding do in motion detection?
✗ Incorrect
Thresholding turns small differences into clear black or white areas.
How can Raspberry Pi alert you when motion is detected?
✗ Incorrect
Alerts like emails or alarms notify you about detected motion.
