I got an email the other day from someone who used my How to use your PC and Webcam as a motion detecting and recording security camera tutorial to catch an office thief, complete with pictures. A few folks have left comments mentioning how they’ve used it to catch people doing things they shouldn’t be, but this is the first time someone has sent me pictures.
I thought someone was taking money out of a little change box I have on my desk, quite a lot of money, like $60 this month. So I finally set up a camera, with your help, at 5 pm last night (in the edited by Ross building in downtown Vancouver) and caught this at 7pm. So he’s been fired, by 9am this morning. Turns out he was taking change even from inside peoples drawers… Look at him going into the carpeted office with just a mop?!
So awesome.

Mopping the carpet - Classic!
Hi!
I can’t seem to get the bugs out of it yet. It doesn’t do very well with the stills. It keeps taking pics, but doesn’t seem to be motion activated.
I was hoping it would come on and record a vieo for the duration of motion.
Mine is an older Logitech webcam. It’s software shows it does motion detection, yet I can’t make it’s software work for me.
Maybe I should just go spend some $$$ and get a good setup…
Thanks for your help,
Mike
