LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 with camera module; HowTo setup in motion?

Hello,
I have a running Raspi with camera module, booted with raspbian buster.
And installed it via the helpfull link https://tutorials-raspberrypi.de/ras...am-einrichten/
I would like to increase the 256x192 setup. How to do this?

here below are few system data and logs.

v4l2-ctl -V

Code:

Format Video Capture:

        Width/Height      : 1024/768

        Pixel Format      : 'JPEG' (JFIF JPEG)

        Field            : None

        Bytes per Line    : 0

        Size Image        : 786432

        Colorspace        : JPEG

        Transfer Function : Default (maps to sRGB)

        YCbCr/HSV Encoding: Default (maps to ITU-R 601)

        Quantization      : Default (maps to Full Range)

        Flags            :

If I use 1024x768 in motion.conf , it dont stream the camera; 256x192 is fine.
Can somebody inform how to increase 256x192? (since v4l2-ctl -V show Format Video Capture: Width/Height : 1024/768; but perhaps this is misleading and not achievable, except connecting an expensive webcam via usb?)

motion log showing an issue when the size is given higher than 256x192.

UPDATE/CLOSURE:
following gave an advise https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.co...esolution-only
"setting the v4l2_palette to 17 (Y12) results in successful captures with a original NoIR camera."

Conclusion: 1024x768 works with "v4l2_palette 17 (Y12)". It dont work with "v4l2_palette 9 (JPEG)" https://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/v...onV4L2Palette; despite the command
