All,
I have often looked in awe at IP Cameras, and we have recently done a job for a customer involving some, but they are sooo expensive, well more than £150.
I like the Dlink DCS 1000 et al.
I would like to build one using a spare miniITX box I have and a Logitech Web Cam Pro I have USB.
Couple of questions!
1. Does Linux support Logitech Web cam pro 2. Is there console web cam software that I coule use to upload to a local apache server? 3. Is there a premade distro designed for this use, or could I make one somehow?
I guess the ITX box needs to do the following!
1. Support the webcam 2. Have a NIC 3. Run apache for the images 4. All run off a compact flash card, no moving parts and all that!
err, I think thats it.
Any how, let me know what you think.
Regards,
Michael
