I did find this application. Thanks a lot.
However when using "systemctl start motion.service" motion starts, but also
stops immediately. When I do "cd /etc/motion ; libcamerify motion" motion
starts and stays alive. So I copied /usr/lib/systemd/system/motion.service to
/etc/systemd/system and changed:
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/motion in EnvironmentFile=-/etc/motion
ExecStart=/usr/bin/motion in ExecStart=/usr/bin/libcamerify /usr/bin/motion
-c /etc/motion/motion.conf
I also added
ExecStartPre=!/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/motion
ExecStartPre=!/bin/chown motion:adm /var/run/motion
because I got complaints about not being able to write the pid file.
However this also starts motion, but stops right afterwards.
A workaround may be to start motion in a cron job after boot; did not try this
yet.

Thank you,
maybe my question is silly. I also want to use Motionplus with different
wifi cameras [but I am not expert]. Looking on Aliexpress I have found a
cheap one who says she is Onvif compliant.
But in the motion documentation I do not see Onvif but RTSP. Are these
protocols alternative? Any suggestion?
Thank you
