Woman catches thieves with webcam-like security system
April 11
A Boynton Beach, Fla. woman busted four robbers who broke into her house after she saw them ransacking her home on a digital webcam security system that let her check in on her house from her work computer.
Talk about timing.
When Jeanne Thomas saw four men robbing her house, she called 911 and the cops got there before the thieves could get away with the loot.
In the interview with CBS, Thomas says she used refers to the camera as a “webcam” but Logitech was quick to point out that it was actually their WiLife Digital Video Security System.
The product, while not a traditional webcam per se, is a bunch of webcam-like cameras that you can view from the web.
Names aside, it was a good $250 investment for Thomas.

Another way to protect your home or office is with security software that runs on your PC and starts recording when it detects motion in view of a web cam or other video camera. Details at http://ldrf.com/securitycameras/
