Hi,
I have various Raspberry PIs around the house doing various things and a
master server. I occurred to me to stick webcams on these PIs for security
monitoring. However, I'm unclear on the best Motion topology for this kind
of setup. Can I have my master server receive streams from these PI-cams
and present them as in a single motion interface? OR would it be best to
have individual interfaces in each PI and open ports on my router to access
them all individually?
Thanks

Hi Jon,
I have a similar setup using Raspberry PIs for security... I wrote a
distributed motion surveillance system (called DMS) that basically keeps
the image processing distributed, on each PI, and only has a central server
service determine when to start/stop the surveillance system service (in
this case, Motion).
In my case, to start/stop Motion, I look for IoT device MAC addresses on
the LAN, and based on their existence/absence, I start/stop Motion (e.g., I
leave the house with my smartphone, the DMS server senses this, and all
surveillance endpoints "turn on").

BTW, you might be better to setup a VPN service on your server (I like
openvpn because it's free and easy and only needs a single port), then
install this VPN on your mobile phone. Then you will have full access to
the entire network securely.
PS, depending on number of cameras, (ie, if more than 4) I'd suggest to
use motion locally on each Pi, otherwise it is easy to overload the
server. I have approximately 25 cameras streaming to one server, and it
copes well, but I'm migrating to standalone motion on each Pi instead so
I can scale it further.
Regards,
Adam
