Hi,

Had a couple of local chavs try the front door tonight just before I arrived home from work, the wife was home and a little worried about it.

I have a raspi lying around and was thinking of setting it up as a remote CCTV system using a spare USB webcam.

I'd like the ability to view remotely via phones when not at home, maybe get alerts about motion sensing activity.

Ability to take photos and save them locally and remotely.

motion-sensing and facial recognition would be a bonus.

Any suggestions on prebuilt software I could use/start with and tinker with?
 
trying to install MotionEye on top of an updated version of raspbian and it's just throwing dependancy errors

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
motion : Depends: libavcodec57 (>= 7:3.2.9) but it is not installable or
libavcodec-extra57 (>= 7:3.2.9) but it is not installable
Depends: libavdevice57 (>= 7:3.2.9) but it is not installable
Depends: libavformat57 (>= 7:3.2.9) but it is not installable
Depends: libavutil55 (>= 7:3.2.9) but it is not installable
Depends: libswscale4 (>= 7:3.2.9) but it is not installable


Trying to install these and they just refuse to :(
