Description


    ipcam


    ipcam is a handy motion detection and recording program designed for IP cameras. It works by reading the JPEG stream from your IP camera and keeping an eye out for motion. How does it do this? Well, it compares images to each other and checks for differences in brightness and color. Pretty cool, right?



    How Does ipcam Work?


    When ipcam spots some motion, it switches to recording mode automatically! It then saves the JPEG images into separate files in a brand-new directory. Once the action is over and no more motion is detected, ipcam can kick off an external program for further processing of those JPEG files.



    Create Movies with Ease


    If you want to create a movie file from those JPEGs, you can use a tool like mencoder. Just keep in mind that ipcam doesn’t take command line arguments and will only log activity to syslog(3).



    Compatibility


    So far, ipcam has been developed and tested on OpenBSD 3.8 but it should work on Linux too! However, currently, it only supports the Sitecom LN-400 or LN-401 camera models.



    Requirements to Use ipcam


    Requirements:



    • gcc

    • make

    • libjpeg


    You’ll need to configure ipcam by editing ipcam.h, then just run make to compile it.
