Any suggestions for opensource video survelliance applications on OpenBSD?
I setup an openbsd server to support a condominium association, and it has been successful using cyrus-imap and drupal. Now I was asked if we could add video cameras and security using the openbsd server. The short answer is yes, the correct answer is maybe :) and what approach depends on coverage and budget.... I realize a practical discussion is way beyond the scope of this list with questions like, do the cameras do the video capture or have the CTV signal come back to server to capture, and how much done by hardware how much done by software, motion detection could switch from time lapse to full or from quadrant view to active camera?..., and so on, that said... Is anyone using some opensource project or the like on openbsd to coordinate the storage of video and retrieval through a web interface and if so how mature or suggestions? (and maybe embed in drupal or other cms if can....) As afore I will do a summary report back to the list for others if I find enough snippets to suggest approaching building survielliance using openbsd and maybe apache/mysql/php or the like. Else a proprietary hardware solution may be considered, since I said emphatically no MSd0ze solution for something supporting 6 - 30 cameras with access to retrieve and view stored video upto several weeks or more. TIA.
