What you need
and alert systems which are in continuous use. eowever, many such systems and services are comparatively costly, and not within the reach of an average consumer.
eere I describe a PC-based webcam security system that offers the advantages of low cost anG hLJh HIfiFLHnFy Ln LWV RSHUation. Acting as a spy camera, the system can capture any movement it sees. All you need is a USB webcam, Windows uP, Vista or Windows 7 computer, and Fwink—a free webcam software. I have used a Toshiba Satellite Series notebook run on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.
A webcam is a small video camera that feeds images in real time to a computer, often via a USB port. Webcams can be used to take video clips and still pictures with the help of suitable software applications. These can also be used as security cameras. Video security software are available to allow webcams to record movement and sound. Recorded clips saved in the computer can then be e-mailed or uploaded to the Internet.
Fwink is a free and Open Source webcam application for Windows. It takes still pictures from the webcam at timed intervals and puts them on a website with FTP. Users can add effects like text messages and time stamps. Further, it is possible to superimpose a logo or any image on top of the webcam image. JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF and WMF overlay image formats are supported by this application.
As Fwink is a free and Open Source application, anyone can add features WR LW RU fix EXJV anG VHnG WhH FhanJHV back to the developer Chris iundie (www.lundie.ca).
