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.

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

More or less. Actually, I read an article on some guy that made motion sensors out of an optical Mouse... I'll dig it up for you.
