ZoneMinder Digital Surveillance Systems

[ Thanks to Doctor High for this link. ]

"ZoneMinder can monitor standard cameras (via a capture card or other device such as USB, firewire, etc.) and remote IP based cameras. Any IP based camera that uses MJPEG streams or has an interface to a single JPEG image will work. It also has the ability to monitor images from a file, if there is no other way to access the image. This can be accomplished with cameras that have an FTP function, though I recommend using a different camera setup if possible (due to security and quality of video). Any camera can be set up for monitoring, recording, motion detection or a combination of the three."
