<div>At Midsouth Makers, we use Motion (<a href="http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion" target="_blank">http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion</a>) running on a ubuntu box. We currently run 2 USB cameras and 2 IP cameras. IP Cams work tremendously better than USB (Distance, even seems easier on the CPU). The one problem we've run into is we've been given a few cameras that don't expose the action mjpeg stream, which is a problem for motion. I posted all our notes / config files to our wiki if you're interested: <a href="http://wiki.midsouthmakers.org/a/MidsouthMakers_Webcams">http://wiki.midsouthmakers.org/a/MidsouthMakers_Webcams</a> the setup is very basic but it works well for us.</div>
<div><br></div><div>With some simple bash scripting to move images to to directories of sub domains hosted on the local box so we could check out the logs of still images via web browser. We even throw images to our main web site every so often so the public/members can see them. </div>
<div><br></div><div>No matter what system you use, I highly recommend going the IP Camera route, we're migrating towards replacing our USB cameras with IP cams.</div>
