Re: [Motion-user] Motion not showing web page, nor captured videos

[Roger H. <rog...@gm...>]

I believe you need a unique stream port in each camera's config file.

Then test test the main page and if it works and you can see the cameras no
need to test each camera's port.  But if the main page does not work then
test the individual camera's port to see if any of them work.
