Hi everyone,
I do hope to ask this clearly. what I desire is a method of confirming if someone enters or approaches my flat without my knowledge. Ideally there would be a small camera, even a phone just for this role might work, with at the absolute best a notification sent via voice or e-mail that the feature is active..I hope this makes sense. Perhaps it activates when someone opens my downstairs door, letting me know? Perhaps an alarm, perhaps not. I might also dedicate a laptop to this role, but the most important thing is that I am notified, the setup calls my own phone number land line for example, or sends me an e-mail. I have no way to get a text message, unless this message is spoken. If I am not being clear let me know. Range need not be profoundly large either. Ideas? Kare It's not quite a simple solution. First, if you're not planning on watching the video all day, you'll need a digital recorder designed for use with IP cameras. You could build something like that with a Linux box, but you're probably better off buying a commercial one designed for

Another approach is something called video analytics, which analyses the scene to detect motion etc., determines whether it's appropriate and so on. Again, not an easy task.
