Hello,
Motion or ZoneMinder? Which Is the best and why?
About the methodology of detection in both, do you know the methodology used in each? I asked in motion mailing list and I get the methodology of motion but I need to know the one of ZoneMinder.
And what is the most perfect motion detection methodology is being followed.

I hope someone interesting help me in details, please.

Can't help, but i never heard of ZoneMinder, so thanks for the info .

I use motion from time to time, and although the config is not "out-of-the-box", it works pretty well.

You are welcome.
I just need help comparing the methodology used on detection in both software..

I have looked at and installed zoneminder. Then I unistalled it. I instead went with motion. I saw zoneminder as overkill for my needs.

I just wanted motion detection on multiple "internet cams" on my wireless network. I configured motion just to save event frames to a file structure, and not much else. I wrote my own viewer using php. I wanted lightweight as this server has to do other tasks.

Zoneminder seemed too complicated for my needs. It required a MySQL database and that right out was a killer for me. I am sure zoneminder is a very powerful application, but I did not want something that would consume my server.
