    You can reach level two by arranging a deposit of £5000 in my account
    and you will then be initiated into the darker secrets of the Marvel
    thing Known as unsecured big brother web cam. But a sheep counting web
    cam at that. Left travelling sheep are enumerated as are right
    travelling sheep sheep to and from.

    Remember kids "Big Brother" IS watching you!

    Brilliant, and to reload I just shoot outside the screen, right?

    The sheep pass fairly quickly so you need to swift on the draw. Not sure
    how to reset the sheep counter. It seems to count the misses rather than
    the hits.

    ....and mind the black sheep on the trains. They go mad if you bump
    into them.

    Not too likely... resolving the address gives
    82-69-29-127.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk which is typical of what a home DSL
    address resolves to. So it's more like a paranoïd neighbor with a thing
    for gadgetry. A quick look at the icode site shows that this is a
    low-cost, general public software, not one we would expect in use by
    professional watchers.

    The real question is why, when you use the mosaic view, this shows a
    second camera, which is obviously doing traffic statistics (counting
    vehicles crossing virtual lines). Maybe the owner wants to complain to
    the town council?

    Could be a NOMFS (1) as you say. But why count the traffic?

    Ahhhhhhh! <light bulb comes on in head>

    Property values! must be related to property values. God the
    lengths people go to to protect their property values. Although
    If the figures are so bad he (presuming "he" due to techno fetish)
    may well have shot himself in the foot. You could just say "its a nice
    quiet area, great for kids etc" but with figures to say otherwise.....


    Hmmn.

    He's also worried that someone could take the fish when he is out (see
    the "pond" camera. Do these people know that this works both ways? With
    some reverse DNS, you can determine the area where the house is (city
    district scale). With the pics you can then tell where it is, and
    whether the people are there, and if the bikes are worth stealing, and
    where the camera is...

    Hello All

    Its my system, and yes its counting the cars. It is software that is
    in use by government, sports grounds etc (over 130,000 licences in use
    world wide). We are just testing the speed camera aspect of it, so I
    set one up at home. Nothing to do with property prices etc, etc..... I
    will turn on the speed notifications when I get home, the current
    record speed down that road is 90mph+

    You can select the second camera by clicking it in the camera list on
    the left.

    Why don't they just password protect it.
    I've got a webcam pointed at my bees (I say "My", I'm sure they're their
    own really) which is totally buggered by the intensity of the sun.
    There is a user/password on it though, so only I and people I like can
    see the be... sun. Hmm. I'm not worried about people stealing the bees
    or the sun.

    Are there laws about peeping and stuff, if it overlooks a neighbour, or
    the street?

  19. This was thrashed out in AN Other group where all sorts of great and
    learned people vied with each other to show off the shallowness of their
    assumed knowledge about the subject.
    The prevailing opinion (much like the prevailing wind, it can change in
    a blink) is that the Data Protection Act sort of covers it, but if it's
    a private security cam that just happens to stray over the fence or
    cover part of the street[1] in its coverage, you have nothing to worry
    about.

    If your neighbours complain, kill file them.


    [1] Worth pointing out that if you own your own house, often you own
    part of the street too, so it would actually be only covering your own
    property in any case.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

  20. Well, doing 90 down that road is the action of an arsehole, right
    enough, but what will happen is your software will be installed by all
    sorts of www.busibodies.co.uk and they will be forming a line at the
    town halls of the country demanding that action be taken against Driver
    X, Y and Z because they went over the limit by 3mph - consistently.
