So, like many people here - I'm kind of a geek. But I'm also somebody who believes in taking decent measures in home security. Does that mean sitting on the back porch with a shotgun? No. I'm talking about security cameras.
But I'm questioning something. I'm wondering if there's a way you can "network" 1 or 2 security cameras to your computer (Ubuntu computer?) so you can tap into the live feed and watch it while I'm in the basement in the computer den.
Something like this possible? We have it at work (school district) but I didn't set it up and it's on a much larger scale than I would ever consider.
Any ideas?
