What are the difference with systems like Motion (https://motion-project.github.io/4.0/motion_guide.html) ?
Motion is a great software and it overlaps with CheapSecurity. However this software pretend to be: 1. a single-camera-per-instance CCTV with a web dashboard and Telegram bot (motion is a full-featured NVR/motion daemon: multi-camera, masks, timelapse, SQL logging, external triggers, etc...) 2. One independent process per camera; multi-camera is done by running multiple instances. (motion is multi-camera support in one process) 3. Small Flask dashboard with live stream, settings toggles, and bulk actions on recordings. (motion is functional stream/status pages) 4. Specifically optimized for low-power ARM boards like the Odroid XU4 5. Last but not least small Python/Flask/OpenCV codebase, easy to hack on...
That's it
