I did actually do a fresh install of Buster. I think I last updated with
apt about a week ago but today there are 15 upgradable packages so I'll
make sure those are on as well.
Thanks!

If you need some tests for *motion* under Buster with:
* PiCamera (v1), RPi2B
* PiCamera 2, RPi3B+
* PiCamera 2, RPi0W
Let me know the tests you would prefer and I will gladly help as best as
I can. This will be a good way for me to learn about *motion* since I
have not been very successful.
Kind regards.
