#103 ADD motion

[JesusM]

Motion is a very versatile software to control local and remote cameras, and I can find it in the Entware-ng repository (no in alt-f's), but a very old version (3.4.0 / 2014) when it is available the release 4.3.2 (October 2020).

I tried to download the sources and compile it but there are too many tools missing.

It would be great if it could be add to Alt-F.

Thanks

Compile Alt-F or Enteware? where? In the box? On a linux PC?
From its list of dependencies it should be possible to cross-compile it in linux box, following the wiki "how to build". To build, the "dns323" should first be build, then the "pkgs" target should be build, to create the necessary dependencies.

But are you sure the box has the needed horsepower to process video? Better try first using the existing, although outdated, entware package.

Hi!

I tried to compile it in the box (DNS-320), will try to follow the guide to
built it in a Linux box.

The issue with the available version is that is so outdated it cannot
process the video sent from the camera. Besides, that version had a problem
finding some already installed ffmpeg libs (I found many comments on
different forums).
