[TriLUG] [OT] Security Camera Systems

Wayne:

Let me know what you find out.  I've been wanting to set up an inexpensive 
camera system for a while now - only I want to run PoE to the device and 
plug it into the camera and directly into the switch.  An outdoor "pan and tilt" 
wired webcam would be ideal - one that would write images to either a SMB 
share or NFS but I also realize that by wanting pan-and-tilt I have probably 
bridged the gap between "inexpensive" and "expensive".

Then there is the robotic, linux based, java and C controlled, webcam I want 
to build so I can watch my dogs while I'm at work.. but that is a whole other 
topic. :)

Is anybody here familiar with a good, cheap security camera system? I'm
guessing they should have cameras nowadays that are wireless / Ethernet,
which can write some graphic mode to a hard drive on a computer
somewhere... maybe even only write if there's a significant change in
the image.

Sorry if this is too off-topic, but I figure, if it's writing to some
hard drive somewhere, it *could* be a linux system it's writing to (And
in my case it would be). :)
