RE: [ale] Motion Detecting Cameras

[Holmquist, Thomas W.]

Hmm I've seen some windows software like this, the software would compare
each frame to the next, and if there was any major diffrence, it would
record the picture. This software also could upload the images to a FTP
server, and make some HTML pages that would let you see what was happening
even if you are not home. It used USB webcams for this (not sure if other
types of cameras would work...) I forgot the name of this software, but
search downloads.com for camera security or something similiar. too bad it's
windows :(

I use a configuration which includes a capture card, camera and software 
called motion.  Works great.  You can get a capture card and camera for 
about $50 and motion is, of course free.  I have a camera that monitors 
my driveway so I don't have to run up the stairs because some stooge is 
trying to sell me something...
