13th installment: how slow is too slow for a motion detection security cam system?
I decided I could take at least some action toward stemming the theft and perhaps catching the perpetrator, by setting up a security camera. I knew that GNU/Linux had utilities for recording from motion detection cameras, and some preliminary searching revealed that the motion program was likely to suit my needs.
It so happened that a friend had recently passed along to me a decent webcam, so all I needed to do was find a target machine on which to set up the software. An old laptop would have been ideal because of the small size, but I didn’t have one available.
What I did have was an old all-in-one unit, an early LCD monitor with a built-in computer–in the person of a laptop motherboard–in its base. I even had Debian (Squeeze) already installed on that machine, since I’d set it up for my father-in-law to use when he visits. But I’d taken the machine out of service a couple of years ago, judging that, as a single-core machine with a 433 MHz Celeron and 192 megabytes of RAM, it was getting a little long in the tooth to be useful anymore. So, could this ancient machine actually be used for a motion detection security camera?
