Here is my current solution: I setup a script on a raspberry pi to ping my security machine that is running sighthound to hopefully alert me if the computer goes offline or crashes/freezes, but I'm thinking there may be cases where a computer is locked up to the point of not recording video but stil...
Thanks for the response Kevin. If anyone else read this or unless you have a more direct workaround: I think I'll use dropbox and an autohotkey script doing something similar to this where I'll have my mouse clicks enable/disable the rules: http://styxnyx.com/general/launch-your-favorite-game-anytim...

I'd suggest that you write a program that will emulate an IP camera with the pre-existing video files as the "viewed scene". Run that program in another computer on the local network and feed the video files to SightHound as if they are coming from an IP cam. There is still the problem th...

The logic of this would be hard to draw out without getting false positives as you've mentioned. I think if you just set a camera at the door and recorded people "entering" from a door, then you would have a good chance at being alerted only when people entered your house (unless they brok...
