Frank, I totally forgot about trailcams, that's a very good suggestion (and great links), this actually looks doable now. Thanks!
SteveQ, the problem with using the video capture card method is that you are dropping the resolution to whatever the card can handle (which is probably 640x480 at best). Lou, the problem with the IR remote is that in most cases, you need to point at the front of the camera (which would be pushed against the glass window), plus it means I have another set of batteries to deal with. It's a good idea tho, and definitely worth looking into if nothing else works. Thanks! |

I believe both the older Canon and Olympus cameras can be remotely controlled through their USB connections. There's been a lot of discussion about using them instead of webcams on a weather forum I frequent. This thread discusses suitable camera models and various software options.
