Serial burglar caught on webcam

Post by JasonH »

Check out the story about this guy having been caught by PC security software. Although he stole the PC, the images were already transmitted onto the internet :lol:

BBC News

The person who was broken into has more details here but it looks from the images that he's using Motion :( He says he will post more technical details later.

Although, the images on Duncans site appear to be interlaced at full PAL 576x768, so I'm not sure if it was a true webcam.

Update: I was right, he was using Motion :wink:

hehe.... Pal is 720x576, and most webcams are 640x480, looks to me if it was an anolog camera with a capture card to me.

and that wasn't a burglar, it was a Chav....
