[gentoo-user] bluecherry:: video surveillance package

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

So, 'zoneminder' has been in portage for a while now. The problem
is this open source software is not really aggressive with support
on the 'ip video cams' (h.264) that are available (at least last time I
hacked on zoneminder).


So Bluecherry seems to have opensourced quite a bit of their linux based
(fedora, ubuntu) video surveillance package [1].  Bluecherry appears to
leverage QT and mplayer [2].


If Anyone is interested in analog and ip (h.264) video surveillance, 
take a look at these and other related links to see if there is interest
in creating an ebuild for bluecherry client viewing software. We can also
discuss options for the video server, container deployment and other ideas.


hth,
James
