motion sensetive
My dad was attaching some of those motion sensetive lights to the outside of the house and managed to drop one
 I decided to rip the little motion sensetive conpartment appart to see what was inside. Noticing the little sensor I had an idea. Is there anyway that it could be linked up to my computer so that motion would activate something (like cheap webcam) as my bro has been deleting thigs yet I cant catch him at it. Bit short on cash and was going to get a cheap webcam anyway, is this possible?ie.turn on and montion activates camera to film. I have a good digital camera, could it be run through this? Prob not possible, but I am bored and want a new job.

Thats really not that simple. Alternativly you could get a motion activated webcam, cos you can get them.

The difficulty isn't so much the software as it is building a hardware interface for the software to integrate with.

But the mouse is focused down so short... how far can you be away form the sensor and still have it detect motion? Also, the laser is kind of a giveaway if you are trying to catch someone up to no good.

Yea... Anybody have any ideas how I can get him? I have been looking around and there is certainly the software to do it, just wether it is conpatible with my webcam.

Ask the developers... The camera shouldn't really make a difference, unless there's a driver-interaction thing that has to happen. What OS are you operating on, BTW?
