As others have mentioned,? wherever you tell it to.? You could store on
the Pi's microSD card, a USB thumbdrive or USB hard drive, or do like I
do and store on? a network storage device (NAS).
For one camera you can put the storage location command in motion.conf;
for two or more put in the respective camera*.conf. From one of mine:
??? # File name(without extension) for movies relative to target directory
??? movie_filename %m-%d/%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S
??? # picture_filename CAM1_%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S-%q
??? target_dir /mnt/NSA320/Unit_1/Camera1
The "%m-$d/" puts the day's files into it's own subdirectory: March 28th
one directory, March 29th another.
Speaking of Pi cameras, I am originally used aRPi4 with two USB
cameras.? I found I had problems with incomplete recordings, dropouts,
resets, etc.? Ends up the higher resolution? I desired was overloading
the poor Pi's USB stuff.? Put the second USB camera on a separate Pi and
no more problems.? Not sure how the Pi camera will react -- try and see.

My command example above may help you with this question.

As others have said, no, but this page is extremely helpful:
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#commandlineoptions
Click on the item, or just scroll to get an overall idea of what is
available.
Keep backups!? Use the Pi's SD Copier utility for major changes, make an
electronic backup (sudo cp camera1.conf camera1.conf_0328 (March 28) for
minor ones.? I haven't screwed things up to the point I needed the
physical back up card - yet! <g>
Reload Motion: "sudo service motion stop" followed by "sudo service
motion start".? I found the 'restart' switch didn't always work.? The
'status' option is handy for troubleshooting.

Subject: [Motion-user] No motion detection after update to 4.4
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Hello,
I'm using motion? 4.3.2 on a Linux Mint 20.3 machine with 2 cameras
conneceted via RTSP. After the update to 4.4 the motion detection fails,
no recordings and no log entries. In the web interface I can see both
streams. If I start an event from the web interface the video is written
to the target dir.
Any hints?
Regards
Jochen

Please run motion with -d 9, reproduce the failure, stop motion and
send the log file

Hi
Have you checked if there are no modifications in motion.conf about
recording videos or pictures ?
