I am struggling to get motion detection to work and suspect it's a technical problem... I see a lot of warnings in the motioneye.log:
WARNING: Connect error on fd 16: ECONNREFUS
They come in groups (~5-30) and always coincide with false alarms of motion detecion (video recorded, but nothing moving).
What does this warning mean? How can I dive deeper to fix the issue?

I get dozens of recordings of nothing, but when I walk though the picture, nothing is recorded :(
I'd love to use motionEye as a NVR (Wansview W2 ZIP camera, might get more of those), it's much slicker than Synology Disk station ;-) But right now, I can't get it to do the job at all...

Versions I use:

motionEye Version | 0.37.1
Motion Version | 4.0.1+git2a140fa
OS Version | motionEyeOS 20171008
On a RasPi3

PS: This might or might not be a motionEye issue, but I need help - is there a forum where I could seek help?

Edit: I am storing the videos in the default path on the microSD, didn't change the storage options.
Edit2: Is this Warning about camera connectivity (as I assume above), or maybe about writing the movie file? I saw some other issues indicating it might be the latter. As said in 1st edit, I use the microSD card (default path) to store the files. It's a class 10 Samsung and I reduced the video rate to ~1.5Mbps.
BTW: There is nothing in the motion.log except messages at boot time.
