Hello, I have a question about recording with a web cam, I have a pretty simple one, but i would like to try and use it to catch some bratty Teenagers who keep egging my girlfriend new Car.

I plan to just place the cam in my window, and have it record in a 24 loop type thing, I have a free HD in my computer if that is neccessary... its an 8GB if it matters.

What things would i need to do that? i figure i need software but i don't know what... is there anything esle that i would need?

PLEASE any help in this matter would be great. the girl freind threated to not come over any more if it continues... and we can't have that!

I will give it some thought. I recently read about a piece of software that does cctv stuff (this is basically what you are on about), i'll see if i can find it. Will post a reply in a day or two.

OK, well i couldn't think of anything obvious or cheap, but google searches came up with this:
<A HREF="http://www.icode.co.uk/icatcher/" target="_new">I-Catcher</A>
<A HREF="http://www.cctvsoftware.com/pcvcr.htm" target="_new">PC VCR</A> looks like what you want too.
I don't think any of this is freeware though, but good luck, and let us know if you get the b$^&(ds.

Also, i think your hardware is fine. As for the 8 Gig hard drive, i suspect it will be fine for 24 to 48 hours at a time but it depends how the software records, what file type, how frequently etc etc.
