Lots of good advice here. It will take me a bit to work through each piece.
A couple of comments for now:
ffplay returns an authentication error. Any ideas why that would be? I do
have the cameras secured with username/password, but motion works when
these are passed in the URL. ffplay does not.
I'm not supper jazzed about lowering the resolution. Part of the reason I
purchased these cameras was to get a clearer view of an intruder's face at
a distance. If it comes down to that, I think my preference would be to
keep things as they are and just deal with an occasional bad image.
Thanks!
Ken
