motionEyeOS Version

I am running motionEyeOS version: 20180627

Board Model

I am using the following board/model: Raspberry PI 3B+ for the server and Zero W for the cameras

Camera

I am using the following type of camera: Simple MJPEG Camera

My camera model is: Pi camera module V2

Network Connection

My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via: The server is connected wired and the cameras are wireless.

Peripherals

I am using the following peripherals that I consider relevant to this issue:

USB external drive 2TB

My Issue

Is there a guide to setting everything up for the "Multiple devices with a central server" scenario? https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Usage-Scenarios#multiple-devices-with-a-central-server

I have the cameras working and sending video to the server. What I am trying to figure out is how to get the camera streams to record to the server and ultimately the external USB drive. I looked around for a few hours and have been working on this for a few days. I am new to Pi and Linux, so go easy on me please!

FYI, I do have the drive formatted EXT4 and it will mount on a standard Raspbian system.

Thanks!
