You can script it with ffmpeg using rtsp protocol. You can also use VideoLan + rtsp.
Stream to directories and then review with a standard video viewer.
Or just stream to multiple instances of video viewers in real time.

The files let you review.

I plan to use an old linux system dedicated to monitoring and recording the video. I like the battery based Reolink Argos 2 as a device but the supplied software is only for windows, mac, ios and android. I have had a look at zoneminder and xeoma and am not impressed so I am going to try shinobi. Its difficult to check out the software properly without an ip camera so has anyone any experience of ip camera systems on linux?
