Hello,
I've been using Motioneye OS on my PI's for a few years now.
Just wondered if there are any alternatives to Motioneye OS

Reason why I ask is that I have 3 pi's all running motionEyeOS 20200606

1 main (server Pi) with camera attached and mains powered.
The other 2 are POE and both seem very laggy,  not mainly in the video live feed,
but just getting into Motioneye OS can be problematic, on theses 2. Also 
both poe pi/cameras freeze often, which I have noticed because of the time stamp time not changing as the seconds change.

So wondered if there are any other OS's/ to try 

Thanks

Check your 2 POE PiCams:
ssh into them
run command:
vcgencmd get_throttled
and report results 
The POE hats have heat issues, and sometimes voltage issues. 
I have some POE to Ethernet adapters that work well, though. They are inline rather than a hat.

Try this. Released in 2022. I have 2 cams hooked up CSI and USB. On Wifi and been running Since the video came out on Youtube.
No problems so far and even send notifications to email and upload to DropBOX.
For Pizero W2

It says for the Pi 3 but works with Zero 2W
This is the github from the Youtube above. May work on other versions of the Pi.

I also use RPI-WEB cam interface. It's limited and I have to reboot it a lot.
