Then looking at the log file is your friend, it will tell you exactly why
Set logging to 8 in your systemd startup file for motion

Subject: [Motion-user] motion crashing - maybe permissions and
installation
Message-ID: <286ab006-720a-425e-b2d2-33026c61e...@gmail.com>

Hi,
I'm setting up a new computer, compiled motion, did the sudo make install
When I tried starting it, I got permission errors, so had to create
/var/log/motion myself, chown and chmod it. Thought I was ready to exit
testing since one rtsp netcam was working, but when I tried to
sudo systemctl start motion
or service motion start
I discovered some files were not installed, specifically:
/etc/init.d/motion and /etc/default/motion
So first, Did I miss a step somewhere in installation?
Looking at the users guide, I can't see anything about this.
I can copy those files from existing installations, but I still wonder
what else is missing.
Second, just running as user, and upping the load to 4 cameras, I am
getting it to crash within seconds of starting, so upped the log level
to 9 and I do have a consistent crash point.
[5:av5:211_Hiseeu_] [INF] [NET] [Apr 08 12:15:23] netcam_init_swdecoder:
norm: Initializing decoder
[5:av5:211_Hiseeu_] [INF] [NET] [Apr 08 12:15:23]
netcam_rtsp_open_codec: norm: Decoder opened
[5:nc5:211_Hiseeu_] [INF] [ENC] [Apr 08 12:15:23] ffmpeg_avcodec_log:
Doing slow software conversion
I can make the full log available, but I want to install gdb first and
see if I can learn more.
Thanks,
Stewart

What Linux version?
I believe it's sudo systemctl start motion.service
