Security: CCTV Cam Screensaver
24/06/2009 by David Slade.
Surveillance Saver is software, not something to investigate. But it’s a functional product involving security cameras.
It’s a screensaver for Mac OS X which taps into the worldwide Axis security camera network. These cameras share their footage online and Surveillance Saver aggregates them on your desktop, allowing backseat snooping. Like any good software release these days, it’s still in alpha, and tends to flicker in and out on my MacBook, but the fascination of these real-time glimpses is undeniable.
Something for the future “must have” when the bugs are sorted out.
Images of axis network cameras can be simply found by searching for their unique url:
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:%22jpg/image.jpg%3Fr%3D%22
A short python script extracts the urls and checks if they are working or dead. the rest is done in Quartz Composer.
installation:
copy the file into your home folder’s “Library/Screen Savers” and activate it in “System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver”. please use it on your own risk: the screen saver is still alpha. SurveillanceSaver is under Creative Commons license..
Download SurveillanceSaver - http://code.google.com/p/surveillancesaver/downloads/list
Update:
Windows version now available
