After I had a theft of a Makergear superpack from my doorstep I decided to step up security the true Makerbot open source way! Now I wish the post office would pay for the lost goods already.I had a really old Veo webcam laying around, took it apart and designed a small stealthy housing for it.I then found some good old fashioned open source software from Dorgem and a tutorial.Tut: http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/09/27/how-to-use-your-pc-and-webcam-as-a-motion-detecting-and-recording-security-camera/Dorgem: http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/Another alternative software with many more features, is Tebocam: http://teboweb.com/WebCam.htmAlso my favorite software that I have found, Yawcam:http://www.yawcam.com/Also, i'm working on a printable pan and tilt for this webcam... it's not quite ready yet for upload.Update 11/29/10: Now with smaller file sizes-Disassemble Veo webcam.-You'll have to trim and solder the microphone wires. Do the same to the LED and reposition them in their respective openings.-Insert circuit board-use some hot glue to hold things in place and seal the unit up.-Put on the lens and add a dot of hot glue to keep it in place.-Go through the tutorial and setup the cam and software.-Prepare yourself to fight crime!-Then stage camera and wait for the scum of society to come skulking about to trigger the camera.-Take pictures to the police and hopefully catch the crook that has been stealing your packages!-Feel satisfied justice has been served!-Send the convicted felon makerbot goodies in federal prison. Maybe a Makerbottable shank?
