How can I use my built in mac web cam to catch a thief?
Someone in my home keeps stealing valuable things out of my room and I want to catch them red handed so I can give him the boot. I found this website http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/09/27/how-to-use-your-pc-and-webcam-as-a-motion-detecting-and-recording-security-camera/ which looked great only it will not work for me because I have a mac and don’t run windows. Anyone know of a website that I could get some free software from?
Yes and they walk into your room and don’t turn the light on,
how is your webcam going to record then?
Webcams need a lot of light to operate properly.
Why don’t you just put a Yale lock on your door?
Much quicker and cheaper!
