Stop that thief! Build your own CCTV system for £50
Be creative and use webcams as a CCTV system by attaching them to computers in your office. Armed with this surveillance, you’ll be able to monitor and detect any office break-ins. You could even use it to monitor stock so that you re-order before you run out.
Four webcams with built in microphones will cost you around £50. You could also install HSSVSS, a free motion detection application, for a more robust security package. If you are prepared to spend a few pennies there are applications, such as Easywebcam, that can even send you pictures to your mobile phone or an email account whenever there is a problem.
