I have a heterogeneous set up using smart cameras (MK802IV, ODROID C1+ and
CHIP) as well as dumb cameras that stream to a central ODROID XU4. The
smart cameras SCP motion MP4 videos to an NFS share and the dumb cameras
record motion video to the same NFS share which is a 500G SSD. I'm using my
Motion Detector project https://github.com/sgjava/motiondetector. This
differs from DMS in that you can use a mix of smart and dumb cameras (I
like cheap weather proof barrel cameras outside since we get a lot of rain
in FL and it would ruin most SBCs without some type of weather proofing).
The other advantage is Motion Detector is based on Computer Vision and
Machine Learning, so you can use pedestrian detection, face
detection/recognition, license plate scanning or whatever else you can
dream up (assuming you understand CV and Python). Also, you can see where I
built the world's cheapest smart camera with a $9 CHIP
https://bbs.nextthing.co/t/worlds-cheapest-smart-camera/16619 which is
currently in production at home.
In any event, you can do the same thing with motion, but you'd have to use
DMS, rsync or write something yourself to centralize the files. Personally
I keep all my cameras on a separate router and subnet not connected to the
Internet for security and to limit traffic on my LAN. I use an Apache
reverse proxy and mod_ldap + mod_authnz_ldap to view live video from
mjpg-streamer on smart cameras or proxy the dumb camera streams.
