[oclug] Video security system?

[John Elliott]

There are several solution to doing this with Linux.  A good starting point 
is the video4linux homepage: http://roadrunner.swansea.linux.org.uk/v4l.shtml

I have used mcam for this purpose with creative webcam II using the cpia 
driver.  Motion detection is possible with several different packages.

Hope this helps
