I'm sorry, I don't really know what to advise at this point. Please let us
know how you get it sorted out.

It looks like motion.service is systemd service.
PClinux (as one of the few distros) does not use systemd. It uses
initd, so the init script you mentioned before should be the one
working for your OS.

Hi,
I've got motion working on my raspberry pi and it's great, but I'm trying
to use it as a baby monitor. It's a Logitech Webcam C270, but it's not
really sensitive enough in low light. Is there a way of altering the
settings to change the levels, so that the images appear brighter?
Thanks
James

How about an infrared camera? That may help.
