Hi,

How about using a webcam instead of a PIR etc for house occupancy and
also turn room lights etc on when entering a room?

also can be used as burgular alarm etc when your out?

The only downdside is that usb can only be run 6ft?

So would need a rs232 adaptor or something like that?


Aplogies if this has been discussed in the past!


Any thoughts?


Regards


Gary
