BI Support for Raspberry PI and/or Webcam on Laptop

[byee]

Not if this is the right forum to post this but ............

I've been tinkering with both the arduinos and raspberry pi's for a couple of years. Does anyone know if BI supports the Raspberry Pi with camera with the PTZ mechanism?

I also have a couple of spare laptops laying around not doing much except collecting dust. I was wondering if I can just connect a webcam to the laptop......then have BI connect to the laptop webcam.

Does anyone know the above is achievable or even supported by BI?

Thank you!

Bi only runs on Windows... Yes it will be able to detect and use a Webcam connected to the laptop... Bi is running on a different machine you will need something like yawcam to generate a stream.. Based on power consumption alone it would be cheaper to buy a true ip camera
