Am looking at using some of the web cameras as a tool to capture the birds in my bird feeder. Started googling for some of the options as it comes to using the camera and have the intelligence to go around and make some of the awesome shots of birds and other animals as they come in for a morsel. Well looks like there are a few options for the unitiated and the bold. I am looking at some of the available software to achieve this objective. iSpy : Neat little application open source and does a wonderful work of capturing pictures when motion is detected. Unfortunately Windows Only and loathe them because of how resource hungry they are. Zone Minder : is a cool little application, runs on linux and provides you options to control multiple cameras and do a lot more stuff. It is a good animal to have and runs and suports a lot of camera sets as well as web based control framework. Ugolog Cannot be called open source, though provides a neat little service to check out the details...
Ramble on everything and anything that fancies my imagination
