Re: [Motion-user] how to save images to network location

[Fritiof H. <fr...@he...>]

I would just have mounted the network share and set the target_dir to the
mount point. (You can mount a network share as a part of the file system).
What kind of network share would you connect to? NFS or CIFS/SMB? (The
latter is for Windows machines).

Cheers,
Fritiof
