Simple webcam interface to display pictures captured from a camera.
The idea of this is to use a LinkSys NSLU2 running OpenWRT to act as a webcam. It will use motion to monitor images from usb connected webcams and save images to disk if motion is detected. The scripts in this archive are to provide a simple user interface to allow the images to be viewed easily. It also has a very simple 'upgrade' script that will allow the software to be upgraded via the web. NOTE - THIS IS NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE OF DOING THIS - LOADS OF SECURITY FLAWS - It is just a quick hack to get it working.
Future extensions include:
- Upload to remote server (which will be powerful enough to turn the images into movies - don't think the NSLU2 is up to it.
- Support for multiple cameras.
- Record sound.
