Here’s one for my fellow Linux geeks, particularly the ones who enjoy embedded Linux.
I’m looking to deploy a number of USB streaming cameras for a security project. I would like these cameras to use whatever network is available to stream high-quality video to a central server. I would like these camera platforms to be maintainable from the network. I also want the camera platform to be as unobtrusive on the host network as possible (though stealth is not required).
The hardware must run Linux, it must have at least one network port (wired and/or wireless), and it must have at least one USB port.
My question to you, fellow hackers, is this: what hardware would you use? I know a Linksys NSLU2 would work but what other hardware might work?
