Your Server

I need a program to use with a webcam so that when motion is detected it e-mails me at a SMTP server with TLS.

I have a Logitech Messenger Quickcam, and I would like to be able to use the camera with motion detecting, so that when motion is detected, it will email me. I have gmail, which means that my SMTP server has TLS for better security. Unfortunately, this also means that every program that I have looked at for webcam motion detection to email won't work, as they don't support TLS. I can't seem to find any that do! I am not a novice computer user, and I know the ins and outs of a computer, so feel free to give me a complicated suggestion - I like a challenge!!! First one to answer with a GOOD ANSWER wins. A good answer is one that is friendly, and helpful, and most importantly, ANSWERS THE QUESTION! Thank you for your help!!! First thing I tried was the Logitech Quickcam Suite, then Dorgem (I believe that is what it is called), Webcam-Control-Center, TinCam, and another... Can't remember the name right now.

  1. best thing to do is go to the model site, and look for instructions on how to use it in that manner. they might have a program that emphasizes and works in that use.
  2. http://www.willingsoftware.com See the 'Motion detection > Actions > Send Email' options. 'Send Photo > Enable' -> on 'Send Photo > Cycle' -> off How to tune up Google Gmail: http://www.willingsoftware.com/help/howto.shtml#23
