Thanks for that link. ZoneMinder is definitely looking in the right direction. This looks good in the "might use it for my house" sense, which is an upcoming project :) I don't see anything about handling display of this many cameras simultaneously at the security consoles. In fact, their forums are full of people unable to get the remote displays working. I did see that someone got it working for 58 cameras though so that bids well. I would just need to work out how to make them all display somewhere seamlessly. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
