missg8tordivr 0 #1 September 16, 2010 I have wanted to see if there is a way to use a web cam for dog watching and/or security. Problem is, there are so many free programs that it makes me wonder about accessible to other people. Anyone have experience with the software that is out there already?*** F LORIDA!

Do you have a playstation3 and a psp? My cousin has an I-cam thing you use for games with the playstation3. She can see the inside of her living room with it if she leaves it on by using her psp.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meso 38 #9 September 17, 2010 It's very possible to use it as a security camera but your only problem will come in terms of data storage space. You could use it as a security camera right now by opening a program like Skype, opening the video settings (Which brings up a display of the camera) and then using screen capture software to record that area. The general problem is that most programs record uncompressed, meaning you're probably looking at about 1gig per minute that will be stored onto your hard drive. So you need a huge hard drive if you plan on recording activity and even then will need to erase it each day. If you're looking for remote webcam software, just so you can log in at any time and view what's going on that's a lot easier and while I don't know any names of software I know there is plenty of software that allows it and that many of them work perfectly... Not that the idea of ever remotely accessing anybodies webcam has ever crossed my mind PS: In regards to being accessible by other people. You just need a piece of software that requires a login type action and then generates a code/password to be able to view the session of the cam. But there shouldn't be worries if it's a trusted piece of software... That said... Someone can gain control of your webcam probably just by phishing you to open a certain page on a website. Commence paranoia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missg8tordivr 0 #10 September 17, 2010 Looking for remote viewing, and if possible, motion detection. Found some software yesterday that stores the images/videos on their own data base, which you can go in and remove at any time. Have to dig more to find out more....*** F LORIDA!

FlyingJ 0 #11 September 18, 2010 Hola chica... This stuff is completely foreign to me, and this might be more $$$ than you want to spend, but I know someone that used this system and was happy with it. He even got to see the beginnings of his office burning down from the inside after an electrical wiring issue started a fire. http://www.knowyournanny.com/m7_view_item.html?m7:item=AMIPZW400Killing threads since 2004.

I had some software on my desktop computer that as long as I left the computer on (or if it automatically got rebooted in case of an outtage) it would take snapshots every time it detected motion. You could set up the folder for it to put the pictures in to an FTP/website and view the pictures. Didnt take up much space and if you have a broadband connection, shouldnt be too slow."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gators1240 9 #13 September 18, 2010 Do you have an iPhone? If so I saw this awesome so try on the news the other day about a program they have just for that(can't remember the name to save my life) but you can open it and view live streams from the camera at anytime as well as it would send a text message if it detects movement. The story was about a guy using it who actually sat and watched people rob his house while he was gone, and also watched them get arrested after he called the cops lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The app is iCam. Cost: $4.99 for the app plus webcam cost. Allows you to remotely monitor multiple live feed video and audio webcam feeds from your iPhone, iPod or iPad over WiFi, 3G or Edge networks. Also has motion detecting and will text you if someone is going on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And actually DropCam is a free app. I've found the "DropCam" webcams are awesome, albeit more expensive than other webcams. Plus, it can be a stand-alone system. They have a monthly fee, but can off-site store your images? I'll have to research that a lil more....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See my other message regarding the app "DropCam". They sell their own webcam, but more expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
