For lack of a better place to put this... Move it if you think it fits better elsewhere.
I am looking for suggestions on free video surveillance software. I looked around a little and couldn't find what I needed. I have a digital video camera I can use, and a server on all the time that it can be connected to. The reason I figure on doing it is to set it up in my apartment. Last semester my apartment got broken into and I got $200 worth of stuff stolen. I figure even if I don't get my stuff back if my apartment gets broken into, at least I might be able to ID the person that broke in since I already have all the equipment, and just need some software.
What I would like it to do is just record for maybe 24-48 hours and then delete anything over 24-48 hours old as it records, so I don't run out of hard drive space. The reason being is that I'll notice that my apartment has been broken into before the 48 hours is up and can look at the video.
I'll continue to look, just thought I'd ask.
