>video viewing isn't supported directly in the browser

Reading your comment caused me to log in to my security server and make sure I'm not nuts about the ease of viewing Motion feeds. Viewing its feeds in a browser is simple, from anywhere on the network. I'm curious what problems you had.

On a similar note, I stuck with plain-old Motion because of its super-low overhead. GUI aside, is Motioneye much of an upgrade? How does its resource footprint compare to Motion's?

motion create lots of files in a highly structured folder system, which is tip-top.

Where it falls down is remote viewing history on unprivileged machines. The nice thing about motioneye is that it creates a nice GUI for remote config and viewing.

However if I had a working motion config thats properly tuned, with all the simple auth setup for remote viewing, would I replace it with motion eye? no.
