I have a home surveillance system set up right now. The camera - termed a "digicam" by it's makers, not I - works via the USB port on my computer. The program that came with it sucks really bad as it fails on startup 3 out of every 5 times and then, while recording, will sometimes just stop recording for no reason.
I paid (not payed) for this about a year ago and when I called to complain the company said that the program wasn't even written for a USB camera system (I bought the entire set from them too) and that it was written for the PCI card that costs about $150. My only option, they said, was to buy the $150 card even though it was their programmers who screwed up.
So, my question is this: is there a program out there that can record off of a USB system? one that I can set to record on a motion-detection schedule? I've looked but I really don't know what I'm looking for (searching for "digicam" nets me results of the companies website and those crappy little digital cameras) so I'm a little lost. Thanks in advance.
