Hi Dan,
Thanks for that.
I should have mentioned that I will be attempting to
use either or both CoolCam and DigitalRadar apps. The
camera(s) will only be activated (I'm hoping) when a
certain set of conditions is met (probably involving
night-time darkness).
The powerbook will be unattended for long periods of
time (probably weeks). I am searching for a
3400-compatible USB PCMCIA card that will provide
enough power to connect a Kensington USB cam as a
second camera (if that's possible - to use both the
Connectix and the Kensington).
Power failures are common in the area, so the Li ion
battery will have to take over and keep things humming
until the power comes back on. This means I cannot
use a desktop (which might have made things easier).
So far, I have avoided the option of getting a proper
surveillance apparatus. Is there any other Mac-ready
option (HW or SW or both) that might be useful?
George
