Hi all,
I've got a little webcam that seems to be supported (via some extras, it doesn't seem to be mainstream) as a video for linux (v4l) device. I travel a lot in my work, and it occurs to me that it would be quite a nice trick if I could get several of these and mount them in various rooms in the house so that I can a) check on the general state of the house (and perhaps most importantly my cats who are left home alone) while I'm away and b) possibly capture slow-frame video that might help in case I had burglars.
Probably all those questions (and the app you need, called 'Motion') can be found here: http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome The mailing list for it is great for answers too! -- Moderate thinkers: Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented worker', is like calling a home intruder an 'unwanted houseguest'. Liberal...whatever: A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
