MotionDetect

Reasons to set up a motion activated web-cam

• Maybe you live in a questionable part of town and you’ve already been broken into. It would be helpful next time to have pictures of the intruder.
• Maybe you’re trying to prove to your landlord or someone in your house is abusing your rights. Catch them in the act, no better way than with images.
• Perhaps you want to catch someone using your PC.
• You have this webcam and never use it, might as well use it for something useful.
• You want to see what's going on outside of your house. Yea just point it outside!

Features:

• Complete control over camera settings
• Sensitivity adjustments
• File Manager for complete control of captured files and animated replay
• Multiple camera selection

Features in the works:

• Upload images to custom web page for remote viewing
• Better user interface.
• Multiple camera interface

I have personally tested this software on Windows XP sp3 and it works great. You are required to have a working web-cam, that means that the drivers need to be installed and working. If you have more than one camera attached to your computer you will have to choose the camera that you want to use.

Personal Desktop Clock

Sometimes you need to keep up with the time and if you are like me I spend a lot of time in from of my computer. The windows clock is there but it's small and if you are running something full screen say, a VLC, watching a movie or playing a game. In steps the Personal Desktop Clock.

Features:

• Stay on top feature
  You can choose to have the clock stay on-top of all other running applications
• Transparent Background
  You can make the clock transparent so that you can see through it.
• Number Colors
  Select between two different colors for the clock numbers. At this time there are only 2 colors to choose from as they have to be hard coded into the clock.
• Weather
  Display the current Temperature and weather conditions for your location. Just enter your zip code and it automatically updates.
• Alarm Clock
  Built in alarm clock/timer that plays your choice of mp3 file.
• Drag and drop
  Drag this little clock anywhere on your desktop and it remembers the position every time.
