The unknown male looks right at the camera. Regardless, what the hell is he doing messing with my PC? I swipe the iPad once more to view the next Dropbox photo: We paid the pet sitter to sleepover & house-sit, so this guy could simply be a boyfriend staying over even though my wife explicitly said no guests were allowed. Who the heck is this guy? Do I call the police? Our new pet sitter is female and yet here I am sitting in Cape Cod, 3.5 hours from my house and I see a male stranger typing on my wireless keyboard hooked up to my HTPC. Note how he is holding my wireless keyboard. I've pixelated and blurred the identity of this stranger in my house. But wait, what's this I see? I swipe the iPad to view the next photo. I get to see my pets, saw them interacting, caught my dog acting a bit mischievous, and laughed when I saw Boaz cause Jessie to give up her spot on the couch. Ok, at this point, I think my DIY home surveillance system is great. Jessie makes herself comfortable.īoat wants to cuddle with Jessie. Sleeping Boaz (cat) pops his head up to look at Jessie. Don't do it! You've been specially trained only to get on the couch when invited!īad dog! You're not supposed to be on the couch uninvited!

Jessie thinking about getting on the couch. Jessie sniffing something on coffee table. I was missing my dog Jessie and was hoping to see some photos of her.

Well at around 11:30pm I decided to peruse the Dropbox photos from my iPad. I had no intentions of "spying" on our pet sitter, but certainly would like to make sure no one is touching my stuff, which includes our digital media (home videos, photos) as well as financial data. So the only photos the camera should capture of the pet sitter is her coming in the back door, as well as her walking into an adjacent room to the family room where she needs to change the litter box. First, I should mention that we specifically told our pet sitter that the downstairs family room, which includes two computers, various gadgets, and a large flat screen TV, was off limits. But wait, it gets better!Īnother reason why I set this up was so our family could check in on our pets, which often greet us by the garage door & adjacent back door. Just to have motion video surveillance via my iPhone and iPad made this a win-win solution.

The livestream video frames per second was decent - anywhere from 2-10fps when viewed from a browser (iPhone, PC browser, etc.). Here's a screenshot of me viewing a live stream of my downstairs family room: (exact URL erased for security reasons)

The beauty of Yawcam is that its live streaming feature uses a JavaScript applet that works on the iPhone & iPad using Safari! No special software required - it's simply leveraging MJPEG (motion JPEG). You just have to configure your firewall to forward these ports accordingly. They are pretty straightforward and use ports 88 respectively. (optionally) Configure HTTP (web) access and streaming.

You're done! Go check out the Dropbox folder and see if photos are being dropped there. Enable the Motion detection by clicking the 'enable' button next to 'Motion'.This timestamps each photo with the date and time. Click 'Settings', 'Output', 'File' and Browse to your Dropbox 'homeimages30s' folder as shown here:įor the filename format use something like this:Ĭ:\Users\tkeating\Dropbox\homeimages30s\.jpg.Launch Yawcam and it'll look something like this:.One called 'homeimages' for motion detection pictures and another called 'homeimages30s' for capturing a snapshot every 30 seconds. Create two folders within the main Dropbox folder.If you use this link, I get 250MB more storage.

I've been meaning to test out my home surveillance recipe which combines a standard webcam, Dropbox (hosted backup solution), iPhone & iPad mobile Dropbox app, and the free Yet Another Webcam Software (Yawcam).
