Web cam detect persone in room.

Hi,
I have been working for the last year or so on a pc that controls my room(lights, apliences,...) and i still haven't found a way of detecting if someone walks in or out of the bedroom. So my question is: If i put a web cam in my bedroom pointing at the door, can i analise the video with vb and detect if someone comes in or out if the room? And how?

Thanx in advance!

Mr Smither.

Hi...:wave:

Check this CodeBank submission : http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=562640

If you want to try it in C#.Net : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-...Detection.aspx

ofcourse you can!

the logic of detecting any movement in camera's view are the pixel changes in your current snapshot/picture to the normal state of your room.

normal state - the first frame captured by your camera when it wakes up for the first time.
current state - are the frames interrupting at an interval. u may use timers for this.

The second link that I have posted mentions about the two ideas. :wave:
