I was able to get the basics of the site up very quickly thanks to CakePHP. I used a design that I’d been kicking around for a couple of months. I’m sure I got the original for OSWD, but I don’t remember which one. It’s nothing amazing, but it works. I had enlisted a co-worked to do a logo, but he’s been pretty swamped lately, so I may have to put something together. It was would have nice to have a true graphics designer’s touch for once. Oh well.

A couple of firsts for me with this project. I know I’m a bit late arriving at the party here, but I did my first tag could and used google maps for the first time. I used the CakePHP Bakery article on GeoIP to automatically add each camera to the map and center the map on the users location. Really cool stuff.

Right now I’m working on the Flash player, then I can knock out so more website features. I had planned on doing a premium version where a user could pay like $20 a year and have a faster framerate on their cameras. I hope to still have time for this.
