Photo on wakeup

Post by danmclane » Mon Jun 29, 2015 1:42 pm

Morning all.

Need some help. Need a macro that will take a photo when my laptop is woken up from screen saver. See I have someone who is snooping on my laptop. Yes I have set a password to the screen saver but I want to catch this person when they try the next time. So I put my laptop to screen saver after 5 min of inactivity. when it is woken up, I want it to snap a picture with the webcam (silently so they don't know, then store the photo to my local drive. The macro needs to run all the time because don't know when I will be away, so the trigger should be the wakeup from screen saver. There are actually 2 web cams, one on the laptop and one next to my desk. I prefer the one next to my desk (which is a usb connected device.) Other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Old Topic, But Something Like This Would Be Better Suited.
