Monitor Axis Cameras -- Howto?

[Johannes Dagemark]

Some cameras has the possibility to detect motion and upload a snapshot 
over ftp. I once configured a camera to do this and then checked for 
newly uploaded files. Fairly simple and also pretty cool.

With a custom plugin or by using urlize you could even get a link to a 
mugshot of the intruder attached to your email alert :)

Cheers
