My DIY Security Camera System

I built a simple camera system using an old computer, a USB hub, some cheap webcams,an SJ4000 camera and a free software called iSpy.

The installation was very easy and straightforward. The only problem that I had was trying to make four webcams to work with iSpy. Windows could detect the cameras but only two could be configured in iSpy.

I ended up using two webcams and an SJ4000 action camera. I still need to figure out how to make the other webcams work. This sample video,BTW, is from the SJ4000 camera.

This simple camera system was  built for fun and for learning purposes only but it shows that one can create something useful from stuff that can be recycled or reused for other purposes.

I have some other stuff that you might find interesting. Please check my other sites:
