Final Camera housing and capture footage
I made the upgrade from my original cheap Tesco webcam which was fine for testing but failed to meet the final requirements as it was relatively poor quality and was only compatible with Windows.
The camera I choose to use was the Live cam socialize HD 720p webcam which has a wide angle lens, works on both mac and windows and shoots HD footage.
The intermediate software I used was Yaw cam which is free software that allows you to schedule how often your webcam takes photos. Yawcam can also be set to capture images when motion is detected within MyBiopod.Once Yawcam has captured the image it can either save it into a file which the MyBiopod website can access or stream straight into the visual monitor on the records page.
