A Raspberry Pi surveillance system

----------------------------------

Login to your Pi and get the code from the cheese shop::

    $ pip install ipcampy

Define a configuraton file of your cams in json. For example, save these lines in `cam.conf`::

    {"address":"192.168.1.20", "user":"admin", "pswd":"xxyyzz", "port":"8010", "type":"foscam", "name":"Garden"}

    {"address":"192.168.1.21", "user":"admin", "pswd":"xxyyzz", "port":"8010", "type":"foscam", "name":"Gate"}

Start to get a snapshot from all defined camera every 10 seconds running::

    $ campatrol -d ~/cam.conf -p xxx

This even start a webpanel that can be accessed from any browser using this address with username ``watcher`` and password ``xxx``::

    http://:6001

Use chrome or firefox on smartphones and tablets to watch live streams.

Snapshots are stored in ``/tmp`` for default but a different path can be specified with ``-s`` option.
