manchester_dave Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi everybody, what I want to know is how I go about settting up the web cam on top of my PC to record any movement when I am out and if there is movement detected to email this to my email account straight away. ie so if they take the lap top away the video eviddence is safe. I suspect a staff member of stealing and want to go about it this way. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would say you need a "motion detector" to trigger the camera to record. No a big deal, but needs an event to start the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
