Anyone else is encourage to add comments about cameras, wireless frequencies, coax cables, fiber-cameras or hard drives (btrfs?) or any other information are all welcome. Night vision cameras are of keen interest, cause I have lots of (wild) animals, snakes and birds to watch too, just for kicks as I'm near a small wetland and a river. So a 'virtual porch' is part of the ultimate goals. Security and (wildlife) entertainment, are the ultimate integrated goal, with some very hi-res cameras that may only record for short duration. Ultimately, some static IPs and reliable (outbound) bandwidth may allow me to share some footage and a few live connections at a time. All of this is a ways off, but on the dream list. Got a 17' gator nearby; he is the size of a tug boat. Thanks again for all the information and everyone is invited to contribute ideas. media-video/motion-4.1.1-r1 James

Re: [gentoo-user] surveillance cameras on gentoo
Howdy I've had great mileage with https://motion-project.github.io/ =media-video/motion-4.1.1-r1:0 it supports a rake of cameras, so you should be good to go almost straight away; multiple network cameras, usb cameras etc it will do timelapse footage, and motion detection recording, and can be very tuned in every way browse video through web page or via Tinycam android app which supports Linux motion as a feed I've three cameras, recording a 24hr timelapse all in 1027x768 and motion recording, and get about 6 days to 300GB good luck!

Suggestions and ideas? 4 Tb enough storage? Now here is the kicker. I'd also simultaneously like to use android app so at any time, I can receive the wireless transmissions and use the Galaxy Note cell phone (9, 10, 20?) as a portable monitor, whilst not interrupting the video being stored on the gentoo server. Note, I eventually want to be running an optimized gentoo stack on a galaxy note S-20 ultra, when the prices drop. For now, I have a galaxy note 9 to do idea testing with. If I can get it stable, then a few cameras on the old pickup truck, same system except a mobile gentoo laptop. All ideas and comments are most welcome. James
