Need a few old IP cams

I’m on an extended medical leave (spinal fusion) and I need a Linux project before I go crazy (don’t worry. My wife is helping with any lifting. I’m mainly on the software side).

I was wondering if anyone perhaps just had a major security cam overhaul and would be willing to part with 5-7 older IP cams. I can pay for shipping. I’ve been running my own Proxmox environment at home to prepare for the inevitable move and now I’m curious about the viability of a Linux-based cam system with web and windows clients. I’m the kinda guy who needs to run this stuff before I dive in professionally.

Out for Medical Leave

I’m out of the office for several weeks (possibly months) and today I decided to dabble in frame interpolation. Not necessarily because I like it, but because I think it’s cool. I’m sure you get it.

I let my daily driver double the frame rate of a classic (Rocky Horror Picture Show). The file size ended up being a staggering 178 GB file that my hard wired Apple TV 4K AND hardwired Google TV Streamer just simply wouldn’t move past a few frames without crashing.

I took this news to my sys admin, expecting praise (because I am a fool with a short memory and my response was essentially “Congratulations. You made a video file you can’t watch.”

Cherish your sys admins, folks. Cherish them with all your heart.
