First let me say that i am really enjoy using boxee!!

i am the killer of scope :D, but I have a video capture card capturing from 4 different cctv cameras. I think it would be great if i can view my cameras from boxee and maybe some motion detecting abilities via "lavrsen's" motion daemon? anyway i know it is a long long shot, but hey i can always dream.

well - if you can create a live stream from them in one of the formats that boxee supports (probably using some external utility, maybe vlc) than you can just create a source pointing to the streams location.

glad you like boxee. welcome :)

Currently Boxee/XBMC only support receiving and displaying one stream at a time though, right? :confused:
