3 years ago Fast Network Camera precludes a 2nd camera on the PiZero. Due to it being a single core processor (effectively an original Pi 1) and other limitations, you are going to have reduced capabilities. As a Network Camera (Fast Network Camera & PiCam) it works well, but you need a Pi3 or Pi4 set up as a camera hub to do management and recording. If you use SCP to do the file transfers, you can turn off all services, and improve things a bit more. SCP is available in PuTTY as another program, and works well. You can also use a SAMBA (SMB) share to be you primary storage location directly, and still turn off SMB and FTP services.

I confirm that I have read the FAQ https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/FAQ before opening this issue.
motionEyeOS Version 0.42.1
I am running motionEyeOS version: 20200606.
Board Model Raspberry Pi Zero W
I am using the following board/model: Raspberry Pi Zero W
Raspberry Pi Camera: V2
I am using the following type of camera: MMAL Camera
My camera model is: Raspberry Pi V2
Network Connection; wifi
My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via: wifi Peripherals
I am using the following peripherals that I consider relevant to this issue:
- (e.g. USB WiFi adapter)
- (e.g. External Hard Disk)
Log Files
I consider the following log files relevant to this issue:
- (attach e.g. motioneye.log)
- (attach e.g. boot.log)
Have searched forums and seen other peoples questions relating to jerky video on the above arrangement, but cannot find a definitive answer.
In standard mode I am getting 2.30/2.80 fps and video time read out seems to jump 4 or 5 secs at a time and the video movement coincides with this, which makes for choppy video and also on the recording.
I have tried fast network camera and a great improvement but not sure how to add a second camera or if the files are still stored on the SD card and will get transferred as I am doing now. Otherwise happy to use FNC.
Settings are: Movie quality: 100% Movie format: H.264 (.mp4) All services: On Still images: Off Streaming: Off. Motion detection: On
I use sftp to transfer images to a Windows 10 PC.
I will attach logs if considered helpful.
Before motioneyeos I use to use RPi Cam Control v.6.6 and video was excellent but user interface not so, and only get basic controls if second camera added. Much prefer motioneyeos if I can get it to run reasonably.
