For testing purposes, a PC with a P4 or higher, 512MB of RAM, a network connection and a 20GB hard disk should be sufficient. Building the serverįor this tutorial, we’ll be using the Zoneminder software package, running on Ubuntu server. In the following tutorial, we will take you through the process required to build a headless surveillance server which can manage image feeds, upload images to another PC, and is accessible from the internet, even using a mobile phone. The web interface makes it ideal for use on our headless server. It supports most V4L (Video for Linux) devices, and can control network IP cameras. Zoneminder is a sophisticated camera manager, including support for multiple image sources, motion detection, email alerts, and X10 automation. Whether you need a visual check on a sleeping baby, or a video of a stranger putting your cat in a wheelie bin, Zoneminder fits the bill. The three main reasons for surveillance are security, safety and nosiness.
