Turning Apache into hidden camera

nutzy19 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-01-2010, 02:45 PM

I have an old Apach 6700 with a 2 gb card in it and I want to turn it into a hidden camera. I have a bunch of camera phones on my dresser so to have ths one actually recording wouldnt be noticable. My question is what software to use and if I stream instead then how do I record the stream on my server... thanks in advance!

I was gonna come in and say you can't hide the 6700.

Tinycam. Says webcamxp lets you capture the stream.

I saw that and tried but its very complicated. Im gonna have to get VERY creative.

Whats complicated about TinyCam?

Or are you refering to trying to hide the 6700?

I have 2 6700's hidden as webcams in my house currently. All using TinyCam with wifi and plugged into wall outlet for power.

is there a way to increase the framerate ? It captures like pics... I was hoping for 10-15 fps

Shouldn't expect more than 5fps, probably lower with a 6700.

5 is ok... as long as its similar to video.
