I am using Vista Dual Core 64bit OS
I am using Yawcam software (free) to merely detect motion and copy an overwriting jpg file into hal 6 main directory..And doing this file save to disk ONLY when the Camera Detected motion
you can adjust the amount of sensitivity to motion for the camera within the YAWCAM Program
Yawcam is a motion detection web cam program, which can be set to write a file to a specific directory..either overwriting the file are doing an array of files like 10 of them in sequence.
Everything is determined how you set up YAWCAM and it has to be running as well. When you set up the YAWCAM program, you have IT detect your cam and you give it access to it.
Yawcam has an enormous amount of functionality for a free webcam program...you can upload or stream to sights like facrbook or your own webpages....it can email you a photo if there is detection on your camera etc....etc..
I just have it save a file upon motion triggering..... over and over rewriting the same file in my hal directory...giving it the jeff0.jpg name.
ALL the plug in does is look to see if the file is there....if it is...it deletes the file, then it goes on to say one of the seven statements after it gets a message from you..nothing fancy as of yet.
I did have to set up Yawcam to specifically write it as a jpg file, as you can name the file anything withmultiple choices as to the format. Image.jpg is the default name of the file written, but I do not remember what the default format was.
It is a little tricky getting the exact setup in yawcam for this purpose, as simple as it is....One merely need to play with yawcam until they are completely familiar with its fuctionality, there is a video download on setting it up availiable too.
simply google YAWCAM
http://www.yawcam.com/you can check to see if it your plugin is working by placing a jpg file named Jeff0.jpg into the main Hal 6 directory...
I do know that the gretta lonely plugin has a conflict, as it is using the same plugin area...and I am not expertise enough to know
the differences in the various plugin areas yet
the curiosity plugin, repeat plugin seem to be compatable
