Hi, I have a few questions about webcams, computers, and linux. I bought a Linksys Internet Camera that can send images directly to an email address upon detection of motion. I've got it working fairly well for sending images to an "extra" gmail account that I have set up. Problem is that gmail is now balking at my having received so many emails from a POP account. Given that I have an ubuntu box in the house, is there any linux opton here? If you tell me these things are doable, I'll probably be able to figure it out, but often the hard time is figuring out the capabilities before you start tinkering.
Can I set up linux to receive "emails" on a box on the same wifi network on the camera? If I wanted to use a Samba server option for recording, what should I do in linux to start that up? The camera also came with instructions on how to get a free 90-day static IP service. Can linux somehow fix that so it's permanent? (May be a stretch, but thought I'd ask). thanks. -- Greg M.
