The security camera system uses the BeagleBoard, BeagleTouch OLED Display, and Cameras to capture and display video feeds. Simultaneous live video feeds are displayed on the BeagleTouch for real time security monitoring. Images are saved as Bitmap images to the disk and can later post-processed. In the following examples, images are stored for inspection in the ~/Pictures/ folder.
Installation

Run the following commands:
$ opkg install gtk+-dev
$ wget http://github.com/downloads/liquidware/liquidware_beagleboard_linux/securecam-1.0.tgz
$ tar xvf securecam-1.0.tgz
$ cd securecam
$ ./compile
$ ./install
