I'm trying to set up a security camera and am looking for software that
will do the following.
Upload images to my website every 2 to 5 minutes. I will be using dialup so
do not have a lot of network speed.
I would like to be able to retain some history on the site. Eg the last 5
images, Perhaps also hourly, daily or even weekly images. The S/W should be
able to handle more than 1 webcam for the future expansion. This will be
unattended and also used to check weather conditions.
Most S/W I have checked appears to be set up for high-speed connections.
I'm not looking for anything fancy. I'm almost at the point of trying to
write the code myself.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

VisionGS PE from http://www.visiongs.de/ and its also free, but with a
little occassional advertising.

VisionGS PE and it's commercial cousin (BE) has been around for a long
time. I used to use it about 5 years ago. It is very stable, doesn't use
much in the way of resources, and will quite happily run for days/weeks
on end without giving you any trouble. As you say, there is a little bit
of random advertising for the visionGS webpage that appears as an image
caption every now and then, but it isn't overly obtrusive if you also
run a date/time stamp or something similar as a caption. It simply
replaces it on an image every now and then. Evidently the 'paid' version
doesn't do it. |
