Surveillance IPcamera on Asus router (optware)

[lwizard]

Is there any optware package or smething similar to be able to run a surveillance program on AC68U?
I mean something like Synology surveillance station..

I would be interested in that, too.
Did you find an answer to your question?

Main requirement would be to query MJPEG streams from the IP cameras and store them to disk, is that probably possible through an optware module?

I am not sure about optware packages, but I know of two opensource packages for debian(for linux really) that do what you want;Motion and Zoneminder. Of course nothing can compare to Synology surveillance station. Nothing that is free and open that is.

What you can do is run chroot environment on your router to run the whole debian environment.(Note: it needs to be of the same cpu architecture) And then just install any packages like on normal debian. However, you would also need kernel modules to support your USB webcams.

You would have to setup a compiler either on your router or desktop linux machine, to compile/cross-compile kernel modules that you need. The former is a lot easier as long as optware has all the packages to install compiler and setup the environment(it should)

I would nicely ask Merlin about them, maybe he already have them compiled. He might even have them hosted somewhere on his website or github.

I remember reading about it somewhere and not sure where exactly. you could try RMerlin's website.
