Windows client for viewing video surveillance archive or web solution

Question

CCTV

Good day!

Briefly the situation: there is a linux server, around it is a set of ip cameras (trendnet/dlink). The task is to record a video archive with sound and play it (either in a windows client or in a browser)

The options that are now:
-write through motion and fold. There is a question about the sound (the camera can only give sound together with the rtsp stream) and displaying the
-zoneminder to the user. The problem with sound is that
cameras can write and put them into folders themselves (breaking them into videos, for example, 1 minute each). the question remains in the browser (the ideal option is if you tell me some solution here)
- all sorts of softs from the trendnet / dlink themselves. Here the problem is the need for windows and the great gluttony of resources

ps ideally a free solution or at least not very expensive but proven. I know about ivideon, but this is a completely different story

, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

it looks like we will stop at avreg. I will learn how to become their dealers)))

Answer 2

motion does not know how to write sound.
At home, I did this: a linux server configured by motion for two cameras (analog and ip cameras) and a mini http server included in its config, through which you can watch online what is happening near the house. Regarding the archive: The video is stored in folders for each camera (cam1, cam2) according to the current date. Because a lot of pieces of video are collected per day - I made a script that, from a bunch of small video files, creates one large video file for each camera. Folders are shared on a grid for my devices. I usually watch through vlc.

Answer 3

I had a similar situation.
Actually, my article on Habré with a couple of bash scripts that parse videos from webcams is here habrahabr.ru/post/134440/ just correct them for yourself, ways, at least.
use it to your health
