You can hook it up via usb and use the rpi just like any other computer. for this to work the rpi needs to be able to handle the video stream and storage. You can also go the IP route by connecting the ip camera directly to your rpi with an ethernet cable. This does not strictly require any network infrastructure. There might be other direct connect paths but im not familiar with all the DIY options on a raspi. -Ben _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
