Motion CCTV

[peetbull]

The video surveillance system in nas4ree. Is this possible?

for stream storage from another CCTV DVR? - yes, most likely depending on your DVR software.
As a proxy to another live stream? - probably not, most are proprietary and require the manufacturer's client software.

Not really sure what exactly you are asking.

I will wrap my head around it, originally I thought to use the RasPi, but I will give it a go and try to set it up on the NAS4Free. I am sure that it would be rather easy to run it the Jail, but I will try to get it working outside...
Will keep you updated!
Also will try to secure the stream with SSL

If you manage to install motion, there is also a nice front-end called motioneye
It requires python. Once installed all you need is a web browser.
I use both of them in my home surveillance system and I am very satisfied with the outcome

I was run motion under full OS, but on Freenas 7.2. No it not actualy, because all network cameras know detect motion and save picture and video on ftp or samba server

I am running both Motion and MotionEye on my Raspi. It seems to be running well, but in the same time it is stretching abilities of my Pi to the limits with other services running alongside. I would need something with a bit more omph! My NAS4Free server would be great for that, but if I cannot get it running under it I will try something new, like installing Debian distro configuring ZFS modules and installing everything in one place, may have to discard the NAS4Free completely and go command line only. I will see, I may drift towards fully fledged FreeBSD too.

I have seen you post in motioneye project on bitbucket. .!
I am too using motion and motioneye (originally was using kmotion as frontend, but then discovered motioneye, which is far more pretty).
But I have a low power home seedbox running ubuntu server and using that...
My NAS is only a NAS and I will keep it only as such...

[chrisf4lc0n]

@ChriZathens
I may go that way too, NAS for NAS only and some low power Ubuntu Server for everything else. I will have to ditch the Pi as it is not powerful enough for me any more... I am off for a week, so I will have enough time to wrap my head around that

[ChriZathens]

I have a pi too, with openelec.
For this, it is just perfect!!!

[chrisf4lc0n]

@ChriZathens I have 2 pi's lying around Did you setup camera viewing on your OpenELEC?

[ChriZathens]

Nope....
I have one pi- used only as a media player
Haven't tried to view my camera via xbmc. I have ip cam viewer on my smartphone and motioneye if I want to access via browser.
Read that only an strm file is needed with the camera url in it, but haven't ever tried
