best security cameras hd image
REd
I'm going back to college and I'm planning to bring my toys - desktop, computer monitors, recording monitors, hd webcam, guitars, and mixer - to my apartment because I'm going to need them for recording music.
Can anybody suggest a cheap security system where
1) I can get an alert on my phone if somebody enters my room (motion sensored cameras I guess)
2) Save the file online so I can retrieve them from any computers.
Answer
Hi There - you can use your HD webcam as part of the solution. Alternatively, purchase an Axis M-Series IP camera which doesn't need to be connected to a PC at all times - Amazon sells these and they retail for ~$150.
Either way, once you decide on a camera, I'd recommend a simple cloud video monitoring tool. I use Camcloud myself, it meets both of your requirements for alerts and saving recorded events in the cloud. It can also use your existing HD webcam and actually turns it into a motion sensing camera. They have free and paid plans.
Good luck.

How does the Logitech C615 Webcam motion detection work for security?

How does the motion detection work for Logitech C615 Webcam. What is the range of the camera in in the room and does it record sound. Does motion detection record pictures "and" sound and does it have the option to record motion detection in video and sound. Can another person tell if the motion detector is on. Would there be a light on the webcam like on the side. Can the computer be in sleep mode for it to record motion detection. If the computer is turned off will it still work. If someone was turn on your computer will the motion detection be activiated. Thank you.
Answer
The Logitech C615 Webcam is a webcam. It is designed to be used to have a video call between two different computers with compatible equipment. It is not designed to be a security camera.
The Logitech C615 Webcam has a built-in mic. It is generally used for the voice conversation portion of the video call.
Page 11 of the manual is very explicit:

Video is recorded.
The software that comes with the Logitech C615 Webcam provides the motion detection. This means the computer must be on. Not asleep. Not off. On, running and active. The camera software in the computer must be running, on and active. The camera itself has not intelligence or storage. The Logitech software compares a previous frame. If there is a difference between the frames, then that is considered "motion".
If someone turns the computer on and there is a start-up file that has the camera software launching at startup, then the software/motion detection should work.
The "range" of the camera depends on the lighting. Poor lighting means short or no vision. Good lighting lets the camera see more. Putting a certain measurement is difficult. Webcams are typically used when the video call happens so there is light from the computer screen. If you are expecting this to work differently (more like a security camera) then you will be disappointed.
Page 3 of the manual shows where the "activity light" is on the front of the camera. It will be on when the software in the computer is running and recording and the camera is plugged in to the computer's USB port and operational.
