Re: [gentoo-user] Video Surveillance?

It might be better to use a axis network camera. Some models have motion detection. Their cameras use linux so maybe you could intergrate their cameras into your linux Check out their website www.axis.com Regards Kenneth Andrea Gagliardi wrote: Jerry McBride wrote: I'm trying to track down a linux app that will implement video surveillance using motion detection via simple Logitech QuickCams and the v4l api. So far not much has turned up. It seems that most everything available will only capture pictures at a set interval instead of by detecting motion. If anyone here knows of an app like I've outlined, please share the wealth. Cheers... Motion is the tool you need. http://motion.sourceforge.net/download/ I use it in video surveillance. Not too stable due to USB madness on VIA mb. Andrea
