Yawcam - Using a classic Video camera as motion detecting device :

You ever wondered how you can use / reuse your old VHS Video Camera ?
I have an old PANASONIC - NV-MC30 - VHS-C Camera.
I bought this camera way back in december 1989 (that's right 18 years old).
I wondered how i could reuse it.

I finale got it to work with the help of my ZOLID Digitale DVD-Maker.
I installed the drivers and the hardware was recognised without any problem.
3 USB drivers where instaled :
  • USB 2861 Video
    Manufacturer :
    • Anubis
    • eMPIA Technology
    • eMPIA Technology - Audio
    • eMPIA Technology Inc,
    Device Type :
    • Camera
    • Image
    • MEDIA
  • USB PVR-TV Device
  • USB EMP Audio device
Selecting the new installed device :
  • Select first the video source.
    Choose first "Settings / Detect webcam...".
