CatCam

Having recently moved house we installed a cat flap for our cat Jessie. Mysteriously overnight the cat bowls were being licked clean, a trait our fussy cat wasn't know for. So we decided at make a Spy Cam application using FlowStone to see if we could catch the culprit on film!
Using a webcam and the motion detection we were able to record the action on disk and identify that indeed an unidentified Black Cat bugler we coming in at night and steeling all of the food.
In order to use the FlowStone video stuff you will need to install the 3rd party Image Processing files from here:

Also on some Laptops the webcam ID is '1' not '0'
