Re: [gentoo-user] Video Surveillance?

I cant really help you but heres a link that might help. http://www.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/Personal/dbowler/motiondetect.html Also you could install windows software using codeweavers crossover office software. That could allow you to shift to linux but still use a windows solution. ken Jerry McBride wrote: Hi Ken, Thanks for the tip. The situation is... the hardware is already in place... The client just wants out of the proprietary windows software.... It'd be nice to get this all sewn up with a total linux solution. Thanks.

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
