Using the webcam as a security camera

Question

CCTV

Some drug addicts started up in the entrance, who hide all their goods right on our floor. To identify these villains, it was decided to install miniature webcams (at least in the eye) to see who is running around. And hook them up to a laptop or computer under Linux (in extreme cases, Windows, but not desirable).

Tell me, is there any software that starts writing video while moving? Those. If the picture is static, then it does not write. Preferably under Linux.

Answer 8

As video surveillance, it is better to use a normal high-quality IP camera, such as that of Zenith. The Zenith E5 model is just right for these purposes. It has a motion detector, dust and moisture protection standard, Wi-Fi, a swivel mechanism and many other equally important functions.
