It is in the motion guide and I should have seen it there. "When all else
fails read the simple directions". A lot of things have been removed from
the motion-dist.conf file (4.3.1+git20210125-34091a7), it was getting too
large so I understand why this was done. This is okay for me because I have
a general idea what is going on and the answers from this list are very
helpful, but for somebody just trying motion for the first time it must be
complicated. Maybe several different types of conf files would be helpful
to new users. They could be selected from the motion-dist.conf file and
have comments in each from the motion guide. The things that apply to any
camera would remain in the motion-dist.conf file. Just a suggestion.
/usr/local/etc/motion/motion.d
ip-cam.conf
analog.conf
usb.conf
database.conf
multithread.conf
