30 Camera: Monitor Source type file ?

Post by Ward »

Lots of IP cameras now have their own implementation of motion detection and FTP options. Is it possible to use ZM -Monitor -> source type -> File to process these in camera events?

What I was thinking of is to use ZM with 30 cameras and save some CPU cycles, I have the cameras detect the motion. The camera then FTP it to the server, where zm records the events. Could this work with jpg ?

Am I going about this the right way? Or is it possible to use MO-detect with 30 cameras at 5 fps on one machine?
