You are running an older version of Motion and it does not like it when
the camera sent invalid data.? It aborts the connection to the camera.?
In the recent versions of Motion, it will now log that the camera is
sending bad data and proceed to try again.
As such, I would recommend upgrading.? Deb packages can be found here:
https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases
And instructions for installing the deb packages can be found here:
