Is it possible to create a virus or spyware that can literally be used to "spy" on people by enabling the little camera and transferring the images without the user even knowing?
Ok, thanks.
I was mainly asking because it makes me nervous to know that people can do it, so I'm going to cover it with tape or something.
Also, it would be helpful to other people as well.

By the way Bob, how's the view from up there on your high horse?

It is unlikely that anyone would want to spy on a regular person through a computer camera (it's not a great view - heads and nose pickings and all), and Mac's are generally very secure against viruses. I wouldn't get too worried about it.

In this video, we set Kai the challenge to make a modern day spy camera that would not be considered a suspicious item. Obviously, as Kai has ...

my friend and I love build things but we are stumped on what to build next. we love a challenge. we have built half pipes. hho generators. chainsaw scooters and spy cameras. we do it all. any ideas for our next project?

Why not a small robot.

Build in 4GB flash memory, you can freely record over for many hours straight
Real time recording in AVI video format, AVI video format 600 x 480
Easy connection with PC / laptops, no driver needed

I'm not paranoid - just wondering. The thought has crossed my mind once or twice.

they have pills for that you know?

Alarm Monitoring: Through external alarm device, the alarm information can be sent to your e-box or your mobile phone.
Scope of applications: apply to home, offices, enterprises, supermarkets, schools and other public places.
Supporting multiple protocols: Embedded operation system supports the TCP / IP, SMTP (simple mail protocol), HTTP, UPNP, etc.

My smoke detector looks like the real BRK brand, when looking closer its missing the "A" in Alarm! Spy Cam?
Do you think it is a camera? My apartment has 3 smoke detectors one which a the one in my room the red light flashes fast , the one in my son's room the red light flashes every minute or so, & the one in the living room is a steady red light. I just feel like I'm being watched, you know intuition. Even the maintance tried to enter my home recently when I stayed home because I was sick, they thought I was at work & when they unlocked the top lock & realized my deadbolt was locked from the inside they took off running. I immediatey opened the door & there was no one there. I called the manager &she said "uh, we to be honest with you.....somebody just moved out & the roaches are terriable so it was the pest control peaple,they went to every ones apt"! I said "they why did they run" I went to every one in my building & every single tenate said "NO" the pest control hadn't even knocked on their door.it was pouring down rain and it was exacty 12 noon when this occured, maintance lunch

first of, ask any one else living around you if they have a similar problem, maybe you are over-reacting? If you really feel un-safe call the police and ask them to look into it, your safety is they're first priority. also you can either:
1)get rid of your smoke alarm or
2)cover it with something (use your imagination) so if it is a camera no one can see you and if its just smoke alarm it can still do its job of detecting smoke.
Hope my advice helps. :)

Is it legal in California for a jerky neighbor to mount a spy camera on his house (it's a small version of the hanging globe kind that you see on a lot of industrial buildings) about 10 feet from the property line? If not, who would I contact? Police? City Hall? Or would I have to go hire an attorney? BTW: I know what I'm looking at. My husband uses these same ones, only larger, on his industrial building for night time security and scanning!
I can't deter his view because he has a really tall 2 story house and I have single story. He mounted the Honeywell spy globes just under his eaves so they look right down on my yard.

Determine the areas of coverage on your side. Can you devise a blocking device? Maybe a pole with a spread out tarp? If he has the 'right' to mount a camera, you have the 'right' to erect a block !

I'm talking about the Cyclops remote controlled RC car with the camera built in. It comes with a 9.6 Volt battery pack. I'm currently charging it and was wondering how long it would take? Thanks.

If you are charging it for the first time, the best idea is to wait atleast 16 hours. After you use it for the first time, drain the battery completly and recharge it 4-6 hours for the best result.
