Heh...yes, but they, the IP address(es), are correct for each camera that I
wish to put into use.

Yes, I did that. I screwed up *again* by not putting the .conf file I use for
two or more cameras. My apologies.
Here is the motion.conf file I use for two or more cameras, and then
two .conf files for two different cameras. I have it set up to use
the P3304 (camera 1) and the Logitech USB (camera 4).
