How to use your PC and Webcam as a motion-detector

Web cam also can use as a motion detector read for the following step:

1. First you have to install your web cam (if you still haven't install). if you lost the software, here are links to download the drivers for some of the most common web-cam vendors :
Creative Labs
Logitech
Labtec
D-Link

2.Secondly download and install the software Dorgem of the motion detector and follow the step below.

3.Launch Dorgem and select your Webcam from the Camera selection drop-down list.













4.Click the Preview button to display the view your webcam has. Physically adjust the camera to face the area you want to monitor.



























5. Click the Source button and make any adjustments to the Brightness, Contrast and/or other settings. Click OK when you’re happy with the results.




















6.Click the Options button












7. Place a check in the box labeled Use motion detection. Certain Webcams (most often Labtec) can require Dorgem to “reconnect” after a certain period of no motion being detected. For now leave this box unchecked. If you notice that your Webcam isn’t capturing any images even though it should have, revisit this section and place a check in the box. It should be noted that if you do need to use this setting, your cam will likely take a picture every time Dorgem “reconnects” to it, so try using 5 minute (or higher) intervals. Otherwise you’ll end out with a LOT of pictures, most of which won’t have captured actual “motion”.















8. Click OK after you have enabled motion detection to return to the main Dorgem window. Now you’ll need to create a ‘profile’ - which Dorgem refers to as Storage events. Click the Store settings button to create an event.












9. Choose File and click OK












10. Enter a Name: for this event, make sure Enable is ticked, and then set an interval. Since you’ll be using motion detection, you probably want to capture images fairly “closely together” - so try 1 or 2 seconds. If you know for certain that this camera will detect a lot of motion (your camera faces an area with a lot of movement) you may want to set this somewhat higher. This setting can always be changed later, so experiment a bit. Click the … button next to Filename:















11.After that create a file name and save it.













12.Click Ok














13. Click Close to return to the main Dorgem window












14. Wave your hand in front of the camera. Go take a look...

15. If it didn’t work, start again at step 3 and double-check everything.
