@Steve, I didn't edit the HTML file in Motion. I use a simple HTML file on
my system that is set as my home page in the browser. It is no different
than creating one with x number of pictures. The caveat that I think you
and Dave are missing is that each of my cameras is connected to its own
device running a Motion server.
Here's an example of one line for one camera;
<img src="http://192.168.1.2:8081"; height="270" width="480" border="0"
alt="Offline" />
Again, I built my HTML from scratch and use it as the default page when
opening my browsers and I do not make any changes to the Motion package,
nor browser configs to make them work.
Thanks,
Ronnie
