Using Your Webcam as a Video Monitor
With the Monitor feature, you can use your webcam as a security camera. If the webcam
detects motion or a face, it records the activity on your PC hard drive. Additionally, you
can set the Monitor feature to send a snapshot by e-mail or post a snapshot on an FTP site
if it detects activity.
1 Double-click the HP Webcam Control Center icon on the Windows desktop.
2 Click Monitor .
3 Click Start Monitor to begin monitoring.
4 Click Stop Monitor to finish monitoring and save the video to your PC.
You can also specify motion regions for the application to focus on. Click the Enable
Rectangle Motion Detection
icon, and then click and drag to draw a rectangle
around the area you want the motion detector to work within.

TIP: You can disable either the motion detection or face detection feature, but you cannot
turn them both off.
