The immediate issue for me is whether or not I can install Motion
without needing to include a database. I've always found MySQL
witchcraft and something I'd prefer not to dabble in, at least until I
get Motion functioning. I notice that none of the commercial DVR
applications appear to involve a database so why do open source
applications use databases ?

FYI, I manage an installation of motion with 2 active cameras, it is
using 6 CPU's and 8GB RAM. The HDD's and CPU are the two biggest issues,
I'm recording in 1600x1040 resolution.
It has been working very well for the past few months (have been slowly
adding cameras for the last year or more).
I'm using 100% network cameras (Raspberry Pi + Camera which streams the
raw data over IP to motion.
Oh, and I don't use any DB...
Regards,
Adam

Motion supports database, but that's optional. You can just run a
daemon that records locally.
Latest version is 4.0.1. You can grab the latest source from
https://github.com/Motion-Project or find a package for your system.
Regarding performance. 720p@10fps stream would require a full core of
recent x86_64 CPU. Recording 4x720p cameras on a quad core system
could be an issue (depends on hardware). So either give enough cpu
power or reduce resolution/framerate.
Live monitoring is possible over any browser that can read mjpeg, like
Firefox. You don't need neither IE, nor any plugin.

Subject: [Motion-user] Getting Motion running on ReadyNas
To: "'Motion-User'" <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello,
I'm new to Motion and am interesting in using it on my Netgear ReadyNas
Ultra 2 Plus.
I would like to know if it is possible "as-is", with only additional modules
loaded, and what version of Motion would be required.
The ReadyNas is running Netgear's firmware Raidiator 4.2.30 which provides
Linux version 2.6.37.6.RNx86.64.2.4 (gcc version 4.1.2 2006115
(pre-release) Debian 4.1.1-21).
If this isn't possible "as-is", what would have to be done for Motion to
work on this NAS unit?
Thankyou for your assistance.
