Step 4Setup III
Software Setup:
(1) make two accounts for yahoo messenger (need two email addresses, get free ones from hotmail or gmail or something). Make one account name end in "....work" and the other account name end in ".....home" so easy to remember which will be used on which computer.
(2) make sure you've added your "...work" account as a friend on your home computer
(3) make sure you've added your "...home" account as a friend on your work computer
(4) Edit the settings on yahoo messenger on both computers to allow anyone to view your webcam without permission. (image 1)
(5) Edit settings to start "Super Webcam Mode Automatically". (image 2)
(6) On your work computer start a yahoo messenger webcam video feed and leave it running. (image 3)
(7) On your home computer click to view your work video feed. Change the size so it fills your home computer's screen (or make it as large as possible to be able to activate all of the photoresistors taped to the screen). (image 4)
(8) At work shine a flashlight into the camera's field of view at different locations to activate different sensors on your home computer.
Note:
It would be best to have a webcam on your home computer too so you could watch that everything is working properly from your work computer.
