Blog2013 ≫ @todo zone minder

Friend at work just set up mjpeg streamer1 with zone minder2 to make some cat detecting device for his house; neighbour's cat is coming in the house and he wants to know when. This looks perfect stuff to be running on the raspberry pi.

I have suggested it is a short step from detecting and emailing video clips (like my old netgear camera used to do, before it just stopped working) to triggering something like a water pistol or one of those air fresheners that will make a PFFFTTT! Sound to frighten the cat away.

raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
