    Resolved [RESOLVED] Motion Detector (webcam) program VB5/VB6 - works, but could use improvement->

    Hello,

    I made a decent motion detection program in Visual Basic 5. It works by comparing the most recently captured (from a webcam) image with the previous one and triggering a warning above a certain level of difference. It can also send e-mails with a snapshot attached. Unfortunately pictures can only be saved in bitmap format with Visual Basic 5, which makes e-mailing the images a bit slow.

    Thanks to the getdibits API function it works at a decent speed, but I think it could run even faster. The code is a bit rough and could use a bit more documentation as well.

    Suggestions and comments are welcome... And perhaps the code will be useful for others.

    See the attached zip file for the program.

    EDIT:
    Uploaded a new version of the program. Should be version 1.01 now.
