I am trying to stream my USB camera through Motion using Linux 21.2. It sees it through localhost:8080 but I've been trying to disable localhost streaming so I can view it from another computer (laptop) on the same network.

In the configuration file, the locahost stream is off but I can still access it through localhost:8080 and not by searching ip.adress:port on another device.

My configuration:

# Port number used for the webcontrol.
webcontrol_port 8081

Restrict webcontrol connections to the localhost.


webcontrol_localhost on


Type of configuration options to allow via the webcontrol.


webcontrol_parms 0


############################################################


Live stream configuration parameters


############################################################


The port number for the live stream.


stream_port 8080


Restrict stream connections to the localhost.


stream_localhost off

In the motion.conf file (/etc/motion/motion.conf) change the port number to 0 to disable the stream e.g:

stream_port 0
