CCTV software (for a webcam)

[C.J]

Recently, in the town where my office is, 100+ cars have had their tyres slashed. So I want to set up a CCTV to cover the street outside. This is for two reasons; one, I might see them, and two, for peace of mind should anything happen in the future.

I have a spare webcam and a spare PC at the office. I want to to record 24/7, ideally it records for 7 days, then overwrites itself.

What's the best option for a free CCTV software?

Zoneminder is free but you need to know your linux to set it up. If your good with Linux then a simple ubuntu server etc, will do the job ( Plus more if you want ).

Sighthound Video is what i use at home, its not free but relatively cheap for upto 2 cameras.

iSpy is exactly what you want. Use it here to monitor corridors.

What are the specs of the machine and what resolution / frame rate you looking to record?
