Ok me and other people in my sisters house have been having money go missing,and we don't know who is taking it,so what i want to do is take a old webcam i found i had(http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Innovations-Webcam-Basic-IC50C/dp/B00006B78F) and set my wallet on my desk with money sticking out,and then have the webcam recording to see who took it,but i also want to make it to where if that person gets on my pc they will not know that it is recording.
Can i do that and if so how?
Get a webcam, put it on monitor, get a piece of colored tape and stick over any light on the webcam, keep in mind, the tape has to be an identical color to not be suspicious. Thats all I got.
I would say try to keep the webcam and computer in separate rooms, if at all possible. Not going to lie, I was kind of creeped out by the title. Though you were going to be using it for dirtier intentions :P
yeah, obviously make sure there's no blinking lights or anything
if you need a program open for the recording (that you cant minimize to the tray, also i don't know how to hide it in the tray), connect a second monitor, go to taskbar proporties > multiple displays > show taskbar buttons on: "taskbar were window is open", drag window to second monitor, disconect monitor, only garrentied to work untill for 1 sesion until pc is restarted
Or just put on a password and lock your PS. (Windows key+L) It will still record in the background, and no one will be able to get onto your PC.
I also reccoment webcam companion 4, for the software. has a "Monitoring" mode. Only record when there is movement. Saves tons of HDD space.
