Re: Camcorder/scart info please

["Mark McCall" <mark@xxxxxxx>]

There is a motion detection algorithm built into the HomeWatcher software.
No need for PIRs or anything else!  It detects changes in the picture as
movement.  You can play with the overall sensitivity setting, object size,
object colour and even ignore certain parts of the picture in the
registered
version (handy for ignoring the sheep in the field at the top of the
picture!).

It's very simple to use and even produces the HTML for the page along with
a
history of shots.
