Problems with computer
Hi all i`m a normal Dad thats trying to solve a problem with one of my
computers.... bascily one of my 3 kids is using the computer to view porn... now despite putting blocking software on and being around most of the time it still happens. I`ve asked my 2 boys and daughter what is going on and know of them know....? Basicly i have a computer with a home connect web cam.. is there a way of setting up the computer so the cam works in stealth mode when the computer is being used... or would this slow the computer down etc etc... Thanks ! |

maybe the wife is a webcam girl and checks out the competition
my thoughts... Would think spying on a kid with a video cam certainly builds a shifty sneaky kid that will never trust you. maybe - Lighten up dad, might be the bright thing to do, and try something else to build trust rather than build more distrust.

What are the symptoms? How can you tell this is happening? Do you think or do you know that the kids are doing this? Are porn sights just popping up uninvited every time you start Internet explorer? Do you use a firewall? What operating system are you using? Do you have antivirus up to date on your system? Do you have windows messaging service disabled? Have you run a spyware removal tool like Adaware? Maybe your not asking the right question here. It is possible that the kids aren't doing it so much as a site they or you visited that is causing your troubles. There are lots of ways to find out what is going on. Bumtracks is right about trusting to an extent. Trust and education works best. Sometimes best to hide things in plain site. Problems with most cameras is they have an LED in the face that tells when they are on. You'd have to fix that or your idea wouldn't work. Besides, the kids would get suspicious if the cam was pointing over their shoulder. You really have not given enough info about your system and situation. The camera idea probably wont work. You might need a Keylogger or such. Google is your friend! |

Thanks ! I have to say, what are you going to do with whatever you see the webcam reporting? Phone him up? It'll take him no time at all to realise all he has to do is move the webcam or 'accidentally' stop it working. Or are you going to identify which of the three it is by correlating pics and time of porn? You can run a webcam application as a service under windows so it is nearly invisible to the user that it's working. In your case, presumably saving an image every 30 seconds or so to the hard drive would give you enough to identify who it is - be prepared to find out it's more than one though! I can't explain exactly what software you should use with that type of webcam though - I don't have that particular one. Yes it might slow the pc down, though not noticeably if only taking one pic every 30s, unless the pc is already heavily loaded or not very fast. Velvet |
