Great unique idea for Coders!

It looks like the greatest idea for Coders to build ever been.



INVENT SOME GODDAMN PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS MOTION CAPTURING WITH!!!! FUCKING SOUND!!



I tried dozends of webcam observer softwares , spycam softwares , webcam softwares in gerneral.


All allow recording videos with sound
All allow motion detection with capturing a video when motion is detected

NONE of them allows recording a video with Sound when motion is detected.


What is so fucking hard about that?

How is "someone" supposed to make some real "spycam video" when there is no fucken prog around that can check when "someone" is moving and then start filming the action including sound?

My logitech software has motion detection with sound.///.//

[Vigilante]

Hm what cam/software do you have?

I got a Quickcam Pro 4000 (mic inside) and Logitech image studio(7.30XXX)I already was in contact with logitechsupport and they said there is no way to record motions with sound

[teksonline]

sounds like there would have to be a trigger (api like) call to whatever records, and then another trigger to turn off, i think the turn off is the problem here... how does it know when to turn off? if a burglar stands still after it starts, how would it know???

[Vigilante]

Hm that wouldn´t be a problem in my eyes.

Possibility one: After a motion is detected --(send to cam)-> Record __ minutes video with sound and then stop and wait for new motions

Possibility two: Record as long as motion is detected then stop.

When the burglar stops moving, the record stops also. that wouldn´t be a problem for my intention of use ;)

[ro8in]

sometimes its just better not to have sound

[GetBigCash]

I think you have to have it go into your sound card first?

I think you have to have it go into your sound card first?

Hm why that?

As i said all programs can record videos with sound when i hit "record" manually , so there is no problem with the inbuild microphone or the recording.

They just are to .... i dunno... stupid?... to implement a +voice function to their motion capture engine

[Vigilante]

So even here nobody knows a solution? *dissapointed*

it's illegal, so there is not a big market

Woat?

Every webcam application is able to record videos when motion is detected but it´s illegal to record a video with sound when motion is detected?

Laugh all you want, i am correct, it's illegal to record a conversation without consent (even in a public place) however recording just video is ok as long as it does not invade someones reasonable expectation of privacy.

Now if you are holding a video camera and recording someone talking and they see you or are performing or something of that nature, that is a different story.

But say if you were to have a surveillance camera in an elevator or in a parking garage and also record peoples conversations without them knowing, you are breaking the law in most states.

Never heard that but when this is true

Oh i hate these laws, that would be a good explanation why i found only one software that allowed that and it stopped working months ago for me :/


Ok then i will try it through the backdoor :

Does anyone know a Webcam Application that can be started (to record video and sound) using a console with parameters?

So i could run a motion detection and when motion is detected the software should start a commandline and with that start the other application that starts recording video and sound (like when i just pushed the record button manually)

Ideas?
