<div>Anyone know if those wifi memory cards can stream to a linux

something similar so I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel? I'd

Not quite what you're asking for, but here's what I'd attempt:<br>
<ul>
<li>Take an RPi with video codec licenses enabled on it, and put
in a rather large SD card.</li>
<li>Install your distribution of choice, and configure a
command-line Web cam application to record any attached Web
cam. This would use the V4L2 API provided by the kernel, and
should work with any half-way decent USB camera. I tend to
prefer Logitechs.</li>
<li>Come up with some sort of enclosure that will protect the
whole kit from weather.</li>
<li>Bonus points if you can use the GPIOs to implement a battery
management for the Pi's power supply and maybe use wind/sun on a
small scale to keep the battery charged. The battery needs to
be able to supply up to 10-12W of power at peak. Otherwise,
you'll need to figure out a means of getting power to the unit.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>At that point, you can implement the rest of what you're asking
for pretty trivially.<br>
