Color QuickCam is working



I have put an old Connectix Color QuickCam to work on my Media Center 6100, piping in video through the printer port.

I don't think I'll do any video conferencing with it - I pictured it more as something that will be pointing out the window - possibly a poor man's security/weather monitoring/who is at the door? system.

Unfortunately initial tests show it to be pretty visible in the window - it's a little bigger than I remembered.

A quick Google search turned up someone doing the same thing - but I doubt my girlfriend would go for anything this ugly looking, nor would I want to:



Dig those glued paper clips.
