Thanks. Your post helped a lot. After reeding of all posts here, I think I am looking for very similar solution. - IP camera - POE (Power Over Ethernet) - "Direct To NAS Recording" (FTP or SAMBA) - inputs for PIR sensors - Infra Red light for night vision (the problem is some cameras have IR LEDs, their light can be visible a little bit, when lighting) - Mechanical IR-Cut Filter Switch - basic surveillance functions incorporated in to the camera (camera sends stream when preset event occurs) - ....... - NAS - nas4free www.nas4free.org (I have it already and it ROCKS with ZSF file system 4 TB RAID Z2 ) - ANALYTICS SW - this is a big question right now, I have to study all above mentioned solutions Anyway, thank you very much for your "novel" :D

Hmmm.... strange. Do you think free software (free as a beer) is just for people who contribute somehow? Crazy idea. Anyway, I was using SQLObject for commercial purposes for long time. And finally.... SQLObject 1.3.0 release was partly my work. Think about it. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

Submission + - open-source forensic surveillance analysis software of pre-recorded video 1

McBooCZech writes: I am trying to set up a surveillance system.
It is NOT intended to build a real-time on-line surveillance system to watch a wall of monitors on a 24/7 basis.

The main scope is to record video (24/7) from the fixed cameras around our facility and when needed, get back to pre-recorded video and check it for particular event(s).

Of course it is possible to use a human power and go fast forward through video using a DVR-type FF function for short video sequences. Unfortunately for long sequences (one week) it is not acceptable solution.

I was googling the whole weekend for the open source software for analysis of pre-recorded video in order to retrieve events and data from
recorded video but no luck.

Because of that I would like ask you, slashdotters. Can you, please, provide some tips or links to the forensic software to analyse/find specific events in pre-recorded video?

Some examples of events: "human entering restricted zone" "movement in the restricted zone" "light in the restricted zone"

Space Vulture 73

stoolpigeon writes "In 1953 John Myers brought his friend Gary Wolf a book he had just read, Space Hawk by Anthony Gilmore. The two were already avid readers but this would be their introduction to an entire genre, Science Fiction. They both say that it was Space Hawk that sparked a life long love of all things Sci-Fi. According to both of them, they had an opportunity to re-read it as adults and found that it had not weathered the years well. They decided they would write their own science fiction adventure in the same style, but do a better job. The result is their book Space Vulture." Keep reading for the rest of JR's review.
