I have a video camera. I can hook it up to the pc. I was thinking of putting it inside but facing the door so I could see who is knocking..etc. Probably just want it to stream and not save the file. Thanks.
Also, it would be nice if I could have it hooked up to my desktop and be able to see it on my laptop. Is there anything that is FREE that I can use for doing that? I know how to network computers but I’m not sure how I could get the video with out saving it.. Otherwise how could I see it streaming on the laptop?
So… what is stopping you – other than you cannot turn off the camcorder’s sleep timer?
Security cams and web cams are cheap – just use one of those. That way you can use your camcorder as a camcorder.
