I would use motion detection. I would also stick in 4 gig, as ram is cheap, but your don't need it. You never mentioned CPU, but any dual core will be fine. You will not be viewing on that station. If you do no motion detect, you will fill that drive fast.

Better in most. Missing some features, and a different look and feel from everything out there.

Cheaper. (Unless you get the real junk stand-alones)

There are some we use, but we buy in bulk direct from China. Yes, some are total junk.

Zoneminder will run on anything. At what speed is the question? Home many cameras? What rate? IP, USB or analog?

You need to stop the zoneminder process first. It is still "in the database" when you fix it.

I buy from China. The only way is to buy a lot of different ones and test them. Many will not work. They may also change in between shipments... Fun stuff.

From a linux box try "wget gast:gast@<IP>/cgi-bin/video.jpg" and tell me what you get...

That is an analog camera, and will require a composite input. If you need hardware that will "just work" a few seconds of research will show items that "just work." And they are usually not the cheapest hun of junk on the net.

A linux supported composite input device. USB can be an issue, so I would get a card.

Nope. Still got a pile of money burning a hole in my pocket. You want some?

Paging Mr. PeterHoward... Please pick up the white courtesy phone...


So not that it is out... How goes the Ubuntu version?

And how was your Christmas? It's been a while, man. Where ya been?

See if it is proscribed in your lease. If not, there is little he can do about it.
