I don?t know if it will help you, but this is what I did to get a descent
setup.
I bought an USB camera 1080P night vision 170? which I don?t recommend but it
works.
It?s an ELP-USBFHD05MT-KRL170 .
It?s plugged to a RPi 3B+ and I use Motion(eye) on another RPi 3 (not B+)
I use UVC driver to make the camera run with uv4l project
(https://www.linux-projects.org/uv4l/ <https://www.linux-projects.org/uv4l/>)
The (MJPEG) stream of the UV4L server was unreliable, unstable. I could not get
more than 5 fps in Motion. My camera is upside down. So I have to rotate the
image in Motion.
I installed v4l2rtspserver (https://github.com/mpromonet/v4l2rtspserver
<https://github.com/mpromonet/v4l2rtspserver>) to create a RTSP stream from
device directly instead of using UV4L stream.
Easy to setup and it works flawlessly. It hasn?t crashed for the last 3 weeks.
One other thing, I had to patch Motion and FFmpeg
(https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/issues/930
<https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/issues/930>) to use h264_omx hardware
acceleration on RPi3 where motion is hosted.
Now, I can get up to 30 fps (streaming) / 20 fps (recording) at 1080p which is
not bad all. My old 4-core XEON can?t achieve nothing more than 2-3 fps
(recording). Obviously it has no any hardware acceleration at all.
