QUICK TIP
If you feel ‘admin’ is too insecure a username for your main account, after setting your password, browse to the MotionEye configuration folder and open motion.conf in a text editor. Uncomment the # @admin_ username admin line and change admin to your choice of username. Save the file – the change is immediately applied.
