Subject: [Motion-user] Need a little nudge with config file(s)...

Hey gang,
Okay, so I'm going to try and use the two cameras I have - the Axis network
camera and the Logitech USB camera.
In reading the configuration manual, I should have three files - the main
'motion.conf', and one 'camera#.conf' for each camera.
Presently I only use the USB cam because it's the only one I have that fits
where I need it to be without having to create any kind of shelf or anything
to 'hold' it in its position. The network camera I'm going to have to get
creative and spend a couple dollars on a 1x4 and some screws to make fit where
the USB cam is presently, so the network cam is pointed inside and toward the
door to watch for anyone entering.
So, I have a motion.conf file for each of those cameras. One is
motion-axis.con and the other is motion-usb.conf. When I use one or the other,
I simply go to /etc/motion and 'rename' whatever one I want to use to plain
'motion.conf'. When I want to use the other one, I rename the one I just got
done using back to its 'other name and rename the one I want to now use to
plain 'motion.conf'. Takes a little activity on my part but no skin off my
teeth and not a problem for me, just a few seconds is all.
Since I've decided to go ahead and try to use both cams simultaneously, the
Motion Guide is confusing me a bit.
Am I supposed to copy and paste the contents of each of my 'motion-x.conf'
files into two separate 'camera#.conf' files?
If I'm supposed to do it that way, then in the regular 'motion.conf' do I put
the camera names one above the other, for example:
# User defined name for the camera.
camera_name M1113
camera_name Logitech
# Numeric identifier for the camera.
camera_id 0
camera_id 1
Or do I have something backwards? I don't know why this is confusing me, but
as you can see, it sure the heck is.
Here's what I have for the 'camera#.conf' files...all I did was open up
camera1-dist.conf and camera2-dist.conf and filled in for each camera I want
to use. :

--------------------------------------------------
What now should I do with these? Leave them as is and make the changes I
asked if I am supposed to make in the regular 'motion.conf' file? or do as I
thought and put my actual motion config for each camera in the 'camera#.conf'
files?
Thanks for any help trying to clear this up. I guess I'm not aging too well
and still have the worry over my head of having enough to eat this month and
be able to actually afford to buy enough for *next* month...just in a bad
tight and trying to do things to keep my mind off it as much as possible I
guess, heh.
