I use zoneminder in a similar fashion. http://farmillriver.rockedge.org/two-tank-view/So I want to do Camera surveilance work thats why I'm here. See my other posts on this forum
One of the cameras is running tahrzone128 on a 2004 IBM thinkpad T42 with no working hard drive and an almost dead battery. Runs from a USB stick. I use a service to sync my dynamic IP to an alias so I can use the internet to see the stream from anywhere in the world. I use a simple <img> tag to embed the stream into a web page for a customized look and function. In the above case a WordPress installation. I have good results using inadyn to do the IP sync in Puppy Linux distros.
