I am interested in using my PC to record sounds on the computer for security.
My webcam is set up using motion and I would like to buy and install software to record sounds using a similar concept. Motion works thorugh detection of movement, this is a very good point as even a time lapse setup can use a lot of space and if you want to keep the images remotely then you can quickly run out of space.
Is there any software available to record sound when a noise above a certain level of dba or imilar is detected? Even if this was used to trigger constant recording until a time period of no noise was detected this would be good.
Mmm, not really fit, but teamspeak can record mic input. When no level, it record too, but, as u probably know, recording a "zero" signal don't use any disk space.
