I've had great mileage with
https://motion-project.github.io/
=media-video/motion-4.1.1-r1:0
it supports a rake of cameras, so you should be good to go almost
straight away; multiple network cameras, usb cameras etc
it will do timelapse footage, and motion detection recording, and can be
very tuned in every way
browse video through web page or via Tinycam android app which supports
Linux motion as a feed
I've three cameras, recording a 24hr timelapse all in 1027x768 and
motion recording, and get about 6 days to 300GB
good luck!

Hello,
So I want to interface about 8 hi-res video cameras to a gentoo system
and use a couple of Hard Disk to record and eventually write over the
stored video. Suggestions and ideas? 4 Tb enough storage?
Now here is the kicker. I'd also simultaneously like to use android
app so at any time, I can receive the wireless transmissions and use
the Galaxy Note cell phone (9, 10, 20?) as a portable monitor, whilst
not interrupting the video being stored on the gentoo server.
Note, I eventually want to be running an optimized gentoo stack on a
galaxy note S-20 ultra, when the prices drop. For now, I have a galaxy
note 9 to do idea testing with. If I can get it stable, then a few
cameras on the old pickup truck, same system except a mobile gentoo
laptop.
All ideas and comments are most welcome.
