Hello, So, 'zoneminder' has been in portage for a while now. The problem is this open source software is not really aggressive with support on the 'ip video cams' (h.264) that are available (at least last time I hacked on zoneminder).
So Bluecherry seems to have opensourced quite a bit of their linux based (fedora, ubuntu) video surveillance package [1]. Bluecherry appears to leverage QT and mplayer [2]. If Anyone is interested in analog and ip (h.264) video surveillance, take a look at these and other related links to see if there is interest in creating an ebuild for bluecherry client viewing software. We can also discuss options for the video server, container deployment and other ideas. hth, James [1] http://www.bluecherrydvr.com/downloads/ [2] https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/bluecherry-client other links:: www.bluecherrydvr.com/files/BC-H16480A.pdf http://docs.bluecherrydvr.com/article/116-using-the-bluecherry-hardware-compression-open-source-linux-drivers-mpeg-4-h264 http://www.bluecherrydvr.com/bluecherry-releases-its-cross-platform-video-surveillance-client-open-source/
