You don't have to install the program on your system to run it, but you can if you'd like

To run the program without installing, from the root of the project run python -m camstrument_client

There are several options you can pass to the program via environment variables.

THRESHOLD: Monochrome (0-255) value that should be considered motion.
DEBUG: Boolean value. If True, show window to display detected motion.

Example: CAMERA=0 IP='127.0.0.1' PORT=10001 GRID_COUNT=8 THRESHOLD=20 DEBUG=True camstrument_client
