Hi,
I am running Motion on Lubuntu 14.04 with an 8 channel tw6800 card. I
have 6 camera attached. When I activate more that 4 threads in motion
CCTV application one or more threads continually timeout. With any 4
cameras of the 6 cameras active it seems stable.

I can dual boot this PC with Lubuntu 12.10 and run 6 camera fine with
the same motion config.
I dont think this is a memory problem. Here is a top display running 4
