I have RH8.0 installed and I want to get a 4 Port CCTV DVR card that I can attach cameras to.

I will have at least 1 but up to 4 cameras attached to it and I want to capture maybe 1-5 frames per second. I will then upload the images to a webpage.

What software can I use to do this under Linux?

I just fond one, Gspy (gspy.sourceforge.net). Would this be ok for my task?

Linux Video Surveillance AKA eLViS provides a user interface for watching motion frames captured by the motion program as JPEG files. eLViS lets you view up to four motion threads and has a simple configuration panel to setup the motion.conf file and eLViS configurations.

eLViS is intended to be used as a low cost security monitoring system. For that reason we have chosen Linux for the high reliability and flexible licensing of software.

We recommend that you use eLViS on a standalone Linux system that is dedicated to this task.

Can I use this with an USB Webcam ???

Thanx

I'll reply myself...

Motion is a software motion detector. It grabs images from video4linux devices and/or from webcams (such as the axis network cameras). Motion is the perfect tool for keeping an eye on your property keeping only those images that are interesting. Motion is strictly command line driven and can run as a daemon with a rather small footprint.

So, yes... Webcams can be used with eLViS

Motion or ZoneMinder should work fine.

we use cctv and dvr, which is integrated with the drivers and applications. Application using microsoft windows platform. Is there a universal application in linux dvr that can be used as a substitute?

+1 for Zoneminder, been using it for a couple of years with a couple of cheap cards - solid as a rock.
