It is best to start a new thread to ask a different question rather
than hijacking the OP's thread.

Hi
Which is going to have to use less cpu/memory usage ???
using one instance of motion with multiple cameras
multiple instances of motion with one cam/motion
The later is easier to configure, I have three cams , two web IP and one USB cam
But it will be using a ARM SBC, twice the speed of a Rasp PI2, the same SBC is
also used
as streaming media device, So far no problems with one instance of motion when
Kodi is run.
TIA

I use separate motion process per camera. Mostly because of a bug when
threaded config can cause picture corruptions (pictures partialy mixed)
I don't thing there will be any significant performance or memory penalty
if you are using threaded or not threaded scenario. It's only about
maintaining config files

Many thanks
Am I correct with multiple instances of motion you copy the motion binary to
motion1, motion2, ect
and the conf files for each motion1.conf motion2.conf

Not necessary. I simply run the same binary with different config on the
command line
