Hi
I want to put up a few cameras connected to a CentOS box. I currently have a box with one camera and that works (USB), I can take a pic (the script does that) and see that on a webpage.
However, I want to have a couple of cameras a little further away (more than 5 meters).
USB has a limit, I have tried that camera with a longer cable and it does not work ... so I need to route that in a different way. Are there equaly as cheap other moethods? Or can I use USB<-adapter->network cable<-adapter->USB?
How can I get that to work?
micro systems running linux at each USB location, all connected with ethernet.
it doesn't take much. http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-31-guruplug-server-standard.aspx
