Spy Cam: use iSight as a camera for video surveillance

Many people are thinking about how to organize the control and monitoring of housing during their absence - on a business trip or just when you are in the office at work. One solution - to use the stored home Mac c his camera iSight (FaceTime). This task successfully solves Spy Cam app.

The developers have positioned Spy Cam as your personal spy that records video events. The program removes the rollers in the resolution of 320 × 240 (and sound) and stacks them neatly in system folder. Returning home from work, you can see what's going on in the house while you were gone.

An interesting feature - Spy Cam can automatically add videos to your dropboks account. You can be in the office and know how things are at home business. The press has repeatedly appeared messages how bad the nurse treat young children. If you trust the child is actually a stranger, nice to be able at least to remotely control the situation.

Spy Cam has an extremely simple interface. The program has a single window, where everything is controlled. You can customize the video recording frequency (eg every 5 minutes) and their duration. Password protection will protect the program from the "off" stranger.

Spy Cam can not be called a hidden camera surveillance. application issues a work light iSight. However, most people have no idea what it is. Now almost all the electronics such burning lights during periods of inactivity (for example, televisions, routers, etc.). It is unlikely that she is someone to be considered.

In my opinion, Spy Cam lacks only one "chip": a motion detector. Ideally, the program should keep the camera on and start to record only when there is movement "in the frame". I'm not sure that it is technically possible to realize (after all, Mac App Store puts a bunch of restrictions), but would not be bad.

The rest of the application is interesting. If you strive to keep everything under control, pay attention to the Spy Cam.
