Use my Dell laptop as a CCTV security systema I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with a built in webcam. This can be set with a motion sensor. I would install an external device for safety again with motion detection. Does anyone know of such a system at a budget cost.Thanks
Yes, you can buy software that will record on motion detection - something like http://www.digi-watcher.com and http://www.felenasoft.com/webcamlooker/ could do the job - but to do things, see http://www.securitycameratutor.com - this site has an excellent article on home security webcam monitoring remotely on the Web.
www.pichunter.com has what it takes to start your own CCTV system.
Good luck!
If you are looking for something reliable, have a separate system. If your laptop on craps, does your security system .. not so sure in my eyes.
