Thank you all for your comments.
I am experimenting with an IP surveillance camera and plan to put a number of such cameras around the exterior of my house. I have tried ZoneMinder with Linux and it seems to have all the features and works. Another alternative is ContaCam which is also open source, but only runs on MS Windows. I have experimented with it and it seems to be simple yet very effective. I doubt a port from windows is very easy. These systems tend to require a lot of cpu power especially if the frame rates and resolutions are kept high and so will probably require a dedicated server. I will look at the wip port and possibly try to build ZoneMinder on an OpenBsd system.

Plus, it's full of irritation, if you've ever setup and run it! LOL A newer, streamlined solution might be better than a port. I don't know. These are all the thoughts I've rattled around, which I later forget about.
