motion sensor security camera - ideas?

[cava83]

Need a couple for the server room, need to be able to network them, will be indoors, motion sensor would be ideal.

Been looking at axis, don't need a top notch one, just one that works ok with the motion sensor and the s/w is not rubbish.

Thanks for your help,

Gabi

I have this setup to monitor my car at home.

Can access the live stream from anywhere in the world, I can even monitor it on my Nokia N95 Fully configurable motion detection and zones. Here's a recent still from one of the events.. as you can see the red blobs are the motion detection.

You can setup detection zones with various levels of detection.

Will work with pan/tilt/zoom camera's aswell. Only runs on linux though.

awesome, shame its not more platform compatible, we were looking for something simialr to cover our drivway

looks like a great product, what camera are you using though?

Linux, no problem, will use virtual PC or similar to run it.

Im using this camera, along with a hardware capture card.

But you can easily use IP camera's or usb camera's.

that's a nice little camera, what are the outputs on it, basically would need to network it up so we can view the feed over the WAN.

Could get one for home too !

What hardware capture card are you using?

Thanks.

Earlier this morning I was thinking about getting something like this. What a weird coincidence that this thread appeared

This is a screen shot of my front camera. I can't get my software to work over the internet for remote access.

The axis IP cameras are fairly good, but the software isn't very good at motion detection
