A live version sounds interesting. I didn't realize that was an option. I'm guessing it would not work well to run it live all of the time. I was hoping to run it on a Raspberry Pi, as they don't use much power to run. When I looked, that wasn't an option. Maybe it would run on the Pi 2. The thing I liked, is that I could use old USB webcams. If I want to use better cams designed for low light, I'd have to buy some special hardware, as those mostly use BNC connectors, not USB.
