Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.

It is a very nice program for motion detection. Simple to install in the basic version, it has a large number of features which can be a bit more complicated to understand all settings, but if you are happy with the basics, it is quite simple. There is also a good help available online. For the help, I would only suggest to add a line that the camera solution sometimes is limited by the computer/ the bandwidth and not by the camera itself or motion. This is an important message for BeagleBone/RaspberryPi applications. It drove me a bit nuts that the motion worked with 320x280 pixels but not with higher resolutions while on my laptop I could go much higher with the same camera and motion.

Excellent project but how to know the URL of the image on a PI camera where motion is installed ?. This information is mandatory when adding a camera in Domoticz.

Best motion detecting video software out there. These guys could easily charge for this, and I would pay. But it's FREE! Woohoo! Beats ZoneMinder, hands down, in simplicity, customizability, and System resource usage (not a hog).

Motion is a great piece of software. We've written a tutorial on how to build a surveillance camera with a Raspberry Pi and motion: www.codeproject.com/Articles/665518/Raspberry-Pi-as-low-cost-HD-surveillance-camera
