Can I use a GoPro as a temporary security camera?

Someone has been stealing snacks from my dorm. My plan is to set up a GoPro Hero 3 as a temporary security camera to catch the culprit (I'm basically like Sherlock Holmes, only cooler). Some general questions:

-how long would the battery last?
-or, could I run it while plugged in?
-how much footage (in time) could I fit on a 32GB memory card?
-is there any free software I could use to quickly zoom through the footage for motion?

Answer
Since it's a common camera,you can't settle it in one place,so people can easily move it.
There are quite some security camera options when you get time to have one.

this zmodo product is an option,it enables you to access the footage anywhere at your smartphoe/tablet.

What's a good, inexpensive home network security camera?

Tyler M

We're looking to set up an inexpensive network security camera in our home. I already have ethernet wiring in most of the house, and a Windows 2003 server that could run any software required to record video. I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive IP-based security camera. Any recommendations ?

Answer
I would recommend that you read up on video surveillance. there are lots of security cameras in the market that can specialize in a variety of things. there are simple ones that simply records videos while there are others that have night vision which is good for dimly lit environment. here's a good site to start on: http://www.video-surveillance-guide.com
