I would like to use one of my webcams as a security cam. Problem is, I don’t want all the dead time to get recorded. Does anyone know a webcam capture app that will work with Yahoo webcam and also incorporates motion detection. Ultimately, all it would be doing is comparing each image and ignoring frames that don’t meet a set percentage of change.
WOA!
I have been wrestling with exactly the same kind of problem. I have multiple systems, some of which have been upgraded to windows XP pro. NOTE upgraded! When you upgrade to winXP pro all applications and files that were on the system originally are setup for all users. I can’t find ANY of the webcam JPEG files that I am watching on MOST of my systems. That use to be the case for ALL of my systems. Then I removed Yahoo Messenger from one of them and reinstalled it as myself. Now the JPEG files are right were they are suppose to be C:Documents and SettingsjohnLocal SettingsTempimage-XXXXX.jpg. I suggest you use the Add Remove programs to remove Yahoo Messanger then re-install it. I didn’t lose anything by doing this.
WHOA!
Here is what YaView v2 means by “anonymous”. The text is taken directly from the End User License Agreement. (If I’m reading EULA’s I need to get a life)Inability to connect to webcams
If you cannot connect to someone’s webcam, there could be a few reasons. First keep in mind that you are connecting to someone with the username of “Anonymous”. When your username is looked up in Yahoo Profiles, it will look up “anonymoous_your-public-ip-address:your-local-ip-address”. This is because you are not logged into Yahoo services and your Internet Protocol Address information must be passed to the Yahoo services server.i.e. you ain’t so anonymous. The webcam sender can get the local IP of your system. Ouch 😮
