    Webcam security software?

    Hey i was wondering if anyone knew a good webcam software that only records when there is movement.

    been getting really creepy signs of someone hanging outside my gf's window and would really like to find out who is doing it.

    Seems like a better choice as it is actually being updated. And "brand new".

    What signs if you don't mind me asking?

    And I can vouch for Crime Catcher, I used it freshman year of college when I thought the maids in my dorm were stealing stuff.

    Hmm yea I would be doing the same thing if it was my gf, the only thing I see being a problem is the quality of camera since webcams really are not that good especially if it's at night.

    all i need is to see how the person walks/ shape of them. actual face isnt too important...unless its someone i dont know.

    thanks everyone.

    has motion activation for recording. its open source, so completely free.

    far as lighting goes, try to make sure its as dark as possible in the room itself. if in any way possible shed a small bit of light on the area from the outside. porch lights, flood lights, so on. dont make it obvious of course and point lights around that window just a "oops we forgot to turn off the flood lights" type thing.

    Before they had web cams, they had people waiting for peeping toms who don't expect them to be there. And fists.

    There's a chair set up outside of your girlfriend's window and you're going to wait for more surveillance before doing something about it?

    My first response is never violence. But direct confrontation of the perv is most likely needed if you want it to stop immediately. Who knows, this sicko might be planning something sinister.

    yea i dont like jumping to conclusions...for all i know it could be some crack head doing it.

    on a side note that ispyconnect program is amazing. my ps3 eye even worked with it so i could test it out. thanks a lot everyone

    Whatever happens come back and update on this. I'm curious now, too

    Also, why not just sneak over there one night and wait and see who it is?

    Why bother when we have the power of technology to make us lazy!

    Hi you can try GotoCamera. The have a really good webcam software, that's free! You just need to hook up a webcam facing the outside of your gf's window, follow the download instructions and you're good to get started. Make sure to tick their motion detection option, which basically sends you an email everytime there's some movement outside her window.

    That is pretty scary actually. I keep blackout shades on my window because it's right beside some stairs :x
