It has a few unique features
-Image Analytics to attempt to determine what happened in the images. No more storing hundreds of copies of the same image or wasting space when a bad rainstorm blows through due to stupid motion detection cameras.
-It is ran partially on a +Raspberry Pi and partly on a dedicated server that I have colocated. Images are processed on the raspberry pi and transmitted to the remote server for further analytics and storage.
-It has point of presence. It knows my location via a small app on my mobile phone and automatically adjusts itself based on if I am at home or on the move.
-Completely responsive Web Based Interface. No Java or Active X srap to deal with.
Aside from those, It can handle ~10 WiFi cameras at this time and I am sure more if I add a few more Raspberry Pis to the mix. I am using the old model B with 256 MB of RAM and feel like this will eventually be the bottleneck if I go more than 10 cameras.
I have yet to find a Surveillance Camera with decent software so I ended up building my own. This was all done using a few cheap DLink WiFi Cameras and a Raspberry PiIt has a few unique features-Image Analytics to attempt to determine what happened in the images.

I searched a while back but never found anything useful.Keith I Myers – 2014-09-20 16:37:30-0400+Jason Kruger – Not sure to be honest. This software broadcasts at a whopping 20 FPM (Frames per minute). Video would be painful that speed. You may be able to use something that uses RTSP.Steven Groves – 2014-09-20 17:55:48-0400Very cool – how is it powered? I’d love to see something like this for my car, but batteries being what they are…Keith I Myers – 2014-09-20 18:11:21-0400+Steven Groves – The cameras are standard Wifi cameras that are AC powered. The raspberry pi is also AC powered. Jason Kruger – 2014-09-20 18:20:23-0400I am inspired. B+ ordered with some other pi stuff to see if I can rebroadcast a feed over wifi.jorge gomez – 2014-09-21 16:25:20-0400Very nice Dan Mesca – 2014-09-23 04:31:35-0400tutorial?Keith I Myers – 2014-09-23 10:06:35-0400+Dan Mesca – I may be able to throw something together but I will need to re-write some of the code so it does not depend on my Synapse framework. Dan Mesca – 2014-09-23 11:03:21-0400thanks…ill wait 🙂
