with a= browser, i.e. lobby, production plant...They also have motion=
detection software which will grab images, but it requires a= windows
client....Lot's of options solar power, wind= power...etc. = I've also set
it up so the images would be combined into video= with mjpeg tools, once
again would have a cron run it early= morning then review the mpeg to see
ifthere was any= activity... = Hope this helps... = AH = On Tue,
