I am looking for a webcam for a Linux box. It's been YEARS since I even
messed with a webcam, but do to a friends house being repeatedly broken into, he wants to set up a webcam, and find some motion activated software, to email the images.
1. Don't most usb webcams work nowdays? 2. Anyone used a motion activated web notification program.
Thanks for the help Randal
Computers are useful, but this is a job for an alarm monitoring company. What do you do if you're eating lunch in the cafeteria when the burglars break in? Or you're driving to work? etc., etc.
My question still stands. When they live in the country it takes a bit from the time the alarm goes off. Also, some family is involved, which means they would have things like alarm codes, so the computer is a secret backup. No matter what you do, if they want in/it bad enough, they will get it. Randal
