Turning my webcam into a security camera

[Phate]

Hey folks,

whilst im at work my retched bloody discusting foul mouthed chavvy drug taking of a brother keeps using my xbox360 and for some pointless reason he keeps taking things from my desk and breaking them and hitting my keyboard out of stress etc now my mum doesnt believe me. she is in total denial of what hes like and sees him as a cherub.

now i want to catch him doing it, as he doesnt come near my room in the evening or at night as im here and even if im not i pop in and out etc.

so is it possible to set my cheapo usb webcam as a sort of security camera, and just leave it recording what it sees so i can prove it to my mum and try and atleast stop him doing this.

he denys everything but it can't be anyone else, it usually happens when he is "ill" and has to have a "sick" day off school, and even though he is the ONLY one in the house she still believes him when he says its not him.

cheers for any help.

or what can i do to him in revenge?

I used to have a piece of software which cam with my old dexxa webcam, it would start recording as soon as it spotted movement then would stop when the person left the room, it was only a cheapy cam so there must be some free software available out there, would have to sit in the taskbar for him not to notice it though i would have thought.

yeh i use software to minimize stuff to the bottom right hand corner bit so he wont notice it any ideas what it was called?

. maybe you might wanna consider a lock on you room door.

what if there is a fire in the house and they are all trapped at this end of the house and need to get in the room to hold off the fumes and fire whilst they call 999?

How old is your brother man?

If that was either of my brother's doing that to my stuff, they would expect nothing less than a punch in the face. If he's a chav, maybe that's the only thing he'll understand.

</kbw>

15

trouble is if you say Boo to him mum goes nuts and you can't talk to her for a week, god noes what will happen if i knock the living daylights out of him....man i so badly want to

And what's the likelihood that you'll ever be the unfortuneate victim of a house-fire?

Hide in a cupboard, then at the moment of crime, leap out yellng "HIGH FIVE YO" and smash a large jar of mustard across his becapped-cranium.

smear poo all over your 360 controller before you leave

lol

what will happen if i get it inbetween my fingernails though?

 

[Phate]

How about you just hide the scart lead for the telly? Or you could do the old james bond hair trick on the disc drive.

Who knows, maybe its your mam would wants a quick blast of 360?

if i hid it he would without question go through all my cuboards. as he has no respect for anything or anyone but himself.


hair on the disk drive?

and if the 360 stopped working he would probably smack it a couple of times while a disk is spinning inside it

Can you imagine, he sets his webcam up then sees his mum and bro both going at it on the 360 (dont twist my words people )

ahhh man.......gross considering my brother is 15 and wieghs atleast 16 stone thats truely discusting
