Thanks, Jake.
My understanding is that the active camera.conf files are referenced in
motion.conf.
If that is true what is in your motion.conf?
The default has entries like the onces below, but /dev/video0 does not make
sense for me. Did you comment this line or don't they hurt? I assume at least
daemon needs to be on (?).

I have a basic working (=cameras detecting events) system setup now. I entered
the optimization phase :-)
Two quick questions:
I find parameters like threshold in motion.conf. From my zoneminder experience,
these parameters have been heavily camera dependent (or better scene dependent
recorded by a camera location and view). Is it possible to make these
parameters camera specific? Can I simply add them in camera.conf?
Can I collect test scenes and replay them to the parameter optimization phase?
Thanks
Rainer

One of the things that made me move to motion from motioneye is that you
can put config options in motion.conf and then override then for individual
cameras so you can choose where to put options.(hence why my original
config is fairly light) - that's what works for me as I have two brands of
cameras.
I run tensorflow on my cameras so have done only minor tweaking as you
suggest but the paragraphs after the bullet points and before Video4Linix
should set you on the right direction
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html with web control and
other areas.
