Materials:
Beaglebone Black Industrial
Logitech C545 webcam
Steps:
Installed Debian Jessie via a netinstall from Elinux.org BeagleBoardDebian. Used serial port. Migrated to Devuan. Installed Zoneminder using jessie-backports according to official install guide.
Industrial BBB was chosen, in the hopes of using it as a dashcam under winter conditions.
Camera works plugged into USB. Logitech camera works under the following settings
- Local
- MJPG
- 960 x 720
- PAL
Total load with camera, gets about 960x720 3FPS, with .7 load on the server, in monitor mode. Making this a potential external ZM server.
YUYV works with resolution of 320x240, but no higher. MJPG is able to get 320x240, 640x480, and 960x720.
This being an SBC, there is a additional interfaces, expansions (I2C, GPIO) to use in addition to the camera itself. Sensors can be added easily.
Note: I ran into problems using this BBB with a long (>25 ft) ethernet cable. Network functions were slow, or failing. This could be a problem, if you were to use these as substitutes for cameras. It may have been my particular model (BBB Element14 industrial). A shorter cable resolved all issues.
