automatic webcam to check who's using my laptop

[tmz_99]

I need some software to automatically take photos every few minutes when peeps start using my laptop.

Basically I know someone has been using my office laptop whilsts I sleep, i want to find out who it is.. :/

A password would be easier?

VLC can be set up to automatically run from the command-line.
A couple of years ago I set it up to auto-record 30min of footage from the webcam, save it, and start a new one.
I then setup a running service to auto-delete any files older than 2 weeks. You can then set up Windows Task Scheduler to do the same thing.

Maybe get Windwos Task Scheduler to automatically take a photo or 5seconds of video once every 15min.

But yeah - password is a lot easier =P

I'd much rather catch whoever it is red handed, then worry about a password later...always good to know who the slimy bastard is around the place.

Did somebody say "record without permission"?

install a keystroke recording program. When u wake up load up program and see what has been typed and may give you a clue to who has been using it.
