Motion monitors the video signal from one or more cameras (video4linux interface) and is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed. Features: interval snapshots, live streaming webcam, mpeg generation, database interface, OSD etc.
I have been using Motion for about a year now for my home security cameras. Works great. I review the footage by encoding the .jpg's to video with Mencoder. Watching a days events only takes about ten minutes or so of my valuable time. I stopped by today to grab the latest version and compile it then submit to my favorite distro so others may enjoy. Thanks Much. Awesomeness.
Once I figured out the config file it "just worked". Great time saver!
very good in terms of all the features I wanted, in the ways I wanted it to be done. only drawback is lack of intuitive gui configure tool.
Zoneminder didnt work after hours. motion worked after minutes. I like it. It works well and is simple KISSes are good.
