Motion and MotionPlus is Your to Go Free CCTV and NVR System
Motion and MotionPlus are highly configurable software programs designed to monitor video signals from various types of cameras and perform specified actions upon detecting movement. Motion, the original software, has been in use since 2000, offering a robust solution for video monitoring needs.
MotionPlus is a newly developed application built to enhance and streamline the capabilities of its predecessor. By removing outdated functionalities rarely used in modern setups and incorporating new, advanced features, MotionPlus provides a more efficient and up-to-date solution for video surveillance and motion detection. Together, these programs offer flexible and powerful options for both legacy and contemporary surveillance requirements.
