FOSS GSM security camera?
Dear all, Does anyone know of an open source (hardware/software/both) GSM security cameras? I.e. a device with at least the following features: * Mains powered. * Includes rechargeable battery to provide uninterruptible power supply for several hours in case of mains failure. * Can be controlled via SMS. * Built-in motion sensor (e.g. passive infra-red). * Built-in camera with automatic night-vision (e.g. by means of infra-red LEDs). * Can be configured to automatically capture photos or video from camera and send same via MMS to a given list of phone numbers, when motion is detected. Bonus points for: * Quad-band capability. * The ability to send photos/videos as attachments via GPRS. * The ability to provide one-way (listening) or two-way communications, e.g. by accepting incoming calls, requiring the caller to enter a passcode, and then putting the caller through to an appropriate menu (Press one to listen; press two to speak and listen.) if the passcode is entered correctly. * On-demand streaming via 3G video call or suchlike. There seem to be a number of such devices being produced, but all are apparently closed-source. See list at end of email for examples. If no-one's producing such devices in the open source community, it would seem - at least on the face of it - to be a reasonable area of business for an open source entrepreneur (not me, I suspect - I don't have the financial capital) to go into, given how large the market is for ADT and similar monitored security services.

Re: FOSS GSM security camera?
there is also a project on qi-hardware.com: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/xue/timeline/ The problem with that project is that it's just a plan now, not a single board has been produced. I'd say this is way out until it becomes a usable product (minimum 1 year). And we are not planning on integrating connectivity until even later. There is a company with copyleft-hardware carmeras (I think some of them have usb host or can connect to a gsm modem): http://www3.elphel.com/index.php Those cameras are awesome and if you are interested in openess, Elphel is the right choice. They are expensive though, for a full 353 camera you easily need 1000-1500 USD, and then you still don't have any GSM connectivity which is what you seem to be mostly after. So by the time you have built a GSM security camera, you will have a big box with lots of manually wired up gear, heavy, with high power consumption, etc. Elphel is about optical excellency (and openess), the founder is a Russian trained physicist and the coolest open hardware guy I know in the world :-) There is also the Frankencamera, a much hyped project at Stanford University with Nokia financing http://www-graphics.stanford.edu/papers/fcam/ But I'm not sure whether they sell anything - I think that leads you further away from what you want. It sounds like your best bet is to start with a phone/smartphone, and hack the camera functionality you need into it. You could even take a good old Freerunner and attach a cheap USB-host webcam to it? (need to solve the mains power problem then, I haven't thought about Freerunner hacking for a long time...) How about a Nokia N900? Cheers, Wolfgang ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Dear all, Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like the financial time cost of the available options doesn't justify a FOSS solution for my application right now, so I've stifled a retch and ordered one of the readymade models from eBay :/ Still, I hope my question has prompted some of the hackers on the list to think about packaging suitable software hardware combos so that consumers will one day be able to buy off-the-shelf FOSS GSM security cams!

MicroSD cards support questions in gta02
Having spend a day and some trying to boot qtmoko or shr trying different combinations (bootloader+ distributions + partition scheme ) from two micro sd card i own, without any success , and since the cards are accesible from linux kernel i'd like to pledge for help in that issue. I admit i havent play more with uboot enviroment and uboot prompt but i've tries the rootdelay option. Some questions: 1)For example why there is need each dist to have its customized bootloader file? Doesnt that imply that there is no general bootloader working like in desktop pcs? 2)Why generally speaking its so difficult to boot from a sdcard? Is the microsd interface closed and thus a libre drivers has holes? Is it a card's fault ? (in what way , shouldnt they comply with a standard? ). Is it glamo hardware thing? Is the glamo mmc driver 's fault ? All the above in different combinations? Some reports (the kernel? or the bootloader? stops and i get messages like below) qi booting shr SoftDog: cannot register miscdev on minor=130 (err=-16) EXT2-fs (mmcblk0p1): error: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced : 267697 Kernel panic - not syncing : No init found.

Alexandros librephone.gr ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community Hi Alexandros, I use sd cards to run a distro and it works fine ( there are some problems with the speed an reliability ) I would suggest to format the sd card as one partion with ext2 (on a pc with a sd card reader for example) and put the qtmoko kernel in the /boot directory of the card and name it uImage-GTA02.bin. And write console=tty0 loglevel=3 rootwait panic=10 glamo_mci.sd_max_clk=500 glamo_mci.sd_post_power_clock=500 glamo_mci.sd_slow_ratio=16 in /boot/append-GTA02 Could you please report back what happens when you try to boot then from the SD card. It should start a kernel and panic at the end loading the kernel. ( there is no init yet) Please hold the power button to get some diagnostics printed on your screen. Kind regards, Ed cut and paste: mke2fs /dev/sdb1 ( assuming /dev/sdb is your sd card ) mkdir /tmp/mpt mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/mpt mkdir /tmp/mpt/boot cp /some/place/qtmoko_kernel /tmp/mpt/boot/uImage-GTA02.bin echo console=tty0 loglevel=3 rootwait panic=10 glamo_mci.sd_max_clk=500 glamo_mci.sd_post_power_clock=500 glamo_mci.sd_slow_ratio=16 /tmp/mpt/boot/append-GTA02 umount /tmp/mpt eject /dev/sdb put the card in the freerunner and boot using qi. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
