| 702908 | 2008-09-06 04:28:00 | Years ago I bought a Labtec Webcam. It had motion sensitivity, taking photos when movement was detected, and was used for security. The results were pretty grim. But even so would enable any intruder to be recognised. I decided we needed a better camera and bought a Logitech webcam from good old Dick Smiths yesterday. No comparison. The improvement was tremendous. But it is not motion sensitive so useless for security purposes. I haven't been successful in finding anything local. Does anybody know of any software or hardware that will do the job - I am not talking about expensive anti burglar set ups (In fact I looked at one and noticed the photos did not compare with the cheap Logitech camera). I would just like to be able to use the Logitech with additional software if possible. Tom |

| 702909 | 2008-09-06 04:33:00 | Most webcams will be exposed through a generic interface that's compatible with most software. I don't know of any particular program, but I'm sure there will be one that lets you do this. Motion capture on webcams is generally done in the software, not the hardware. |

| 702912 | 2008-09-08 00:35:00 | I used to use that (Dorgem). Worked a treat. So many options fo things like sensitivity, where/how to save, timestamping, etc. Pretty good actually. | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
