I have a Logitech Quickcam Web...i found linux drivers for it but the software isn't too fancy...it just opens an xwindow and displays the camera output, if you know how to alter the code you could have it send the output to a file instead...e.g. by using libjpg or something, have it dump to a jpg in your web server room folder and then all you would have to do is click the refresh button every few seconds.
I dont know of any proper linux software to do this, but the windows software is quite good...comes with motion activation support... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben Donohue Sent: Monday, 29 April 2002 9:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Of web-cams with video recorder etc. Hi Slugs, I've had some strange goings on around the outside of my house lately. I started toying with the idea of setting up a hidden camera and video recorder with time lapse and or movement sensor etc. Then on top of this using it as a web-cam so that I can view my place from work etc. I've googled a bit but have only found lots of stuff based on windows so far, so I thought I'd hit the list. Has anyone had any experience with web-cams+video recorders+time lapse using Linux as the server? I don't have a lot of time to set this up myself and also not the expertise. For the right price I would be happy to pay for the help of someone to help get it going. I live in Ashbury (which is near Ashfield - inner west, Sydney).
