automatic email webcam movement
 

hello ! i would like to use an old compu for the safety of a friend, who has been stolen :

have a webcam connected to the compu, detecting movement and sending a picture by email.

ever heard of some software on linux for that ?

thanks !

Take a look here "Video: Security / Webcams / Monitoring" on this page:

(Google is your friend!)

yes Google is my friend :)
but sometimes a rather messy one...

thanks for replying, although the link is not working.

I found this, which seems to do what I want, but being a
command line program and myself linux illiterate, it might
take some effort to implement. But I haven't found yet
anything that would do it easier :)

I just tried the first link and it worked fine for me.

still not for me :confused:
but internet in Tahiti is not an absolute science...

Here is a more complete solution :

and since the exploits.org link is still not working, I believe it must be somehow blocked by our unique ISP... Paradise have Saint Peter's door keepers...
