Good afternoon everyone, I have a senario that I'm trying to resolve and wonder if anyone here has any experience in this new idea for me ... I have had my car vandalized twice in the last year, most recently right outside my house. Obviously a better alarm system is needed but with the increase in technology available to thieves etc I'm looking for a passive response that I can initiate to add at least a degree of response for later evaluation by law enforcement. I have concluded that the Orange Micro iBot web cam can provide the kind of image that I need (640 x 480 Pixels) at up to 30 fps with a lens capable of focusing from 1 cm to infinity. I'm also sure zi can refit the camera into a more stable housing and gain a tripod socket. So the hardware is no problem. What I need is a utility that would capture one image every 20 - 30 seconds for a period of 5 - 6 hours. The image at 72 ppi is equiv to approx 990k so for a 6 hour run I would eat up a little less than a GB. Does anyone here use such a utility or know where I could get one? So far I've found plenty of small utilities, but none have offered a frame capture every x seconds that could be programmed in via say prefs. As always your help is much appreciated. The iBot is a Firewire device so transferr shouldn't be a problem. I have a PC 150 with a G3 400 card and an OrangeMicro USB/Firewire card and 512 mb RAM.
Thanks all, Aloha David -- � � � � � � � D A V I D C R O X F O R D http://home.earthlink.net/~photogdc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Waipio, HI -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
