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
+1 for motion. It will also stream the video out, so you can view it on a
mobile device.
Thanks guys. I'm glad this (obvious?) path has been established.
Anyone else is encourage to add comments about cameras, wireless
frequencies, coax cables, fiber-cameras or hard drives (btrfs?) or any
other information are all welcome. Night vision cameras are of keen
interest, cause I have lots of (wild) animals, snakes and birds to watch
too, just for kicks as I'm near a small wetland and a river. So a
'virtual porch' is part of the ultimate goals.
Security and (wildlife) entertainment, are the ultimate integrated goal,
with some very hi-res cameras that may only record for short duration.
Ultimately, some static IPs and reliable (outbound) bandwidth may allow
me to share some footage and a few live connections at a time.
All of this is a ways off, but on the dream list. Got a 17' gator
nearby; he is the size of a tug boat.
Thanks again for all the information and everyone is invited to
contribute ideas.
