Isn?t there a camera identifier like a name or something? Probably need to
uniquely identify them. They are certainly smashing each other right now.

It's a simple line-editing error. Try:
netcam_url
rtsp://xxx:xxx@192.168.0.8:80/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
<http://xxx:xxx@192.168.0.8:80/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0>

Once Motion starts recording a movie, should it continually capture
frames at the configured rate until the end of the event? I am using a
framerate of 4, but missing frames are common, and only seeing one frame
per second in the recorded movie is not unusual. If this is expected
behavior, what causes it?
I am using Raspberry Pi Zero Ws with V2 Pi cameras. I have observed this
with Motion 4.2.2 both on Raspbian Lite Stretch and Raspbian Lite
Buster, but it seems more pronounced with Buster.
Config file attached.
