Subject: Re: [Hampshire] Webcam that works well with Debian Stable
Thanks for the tip Petyr! I've just set it up on an spare smartphone and it
works really well. Motion detection works a treat.

I might buy another smartphone for more coverage. Can you recommend any
good smartphone mounts/holders?

Thanks again
