Version 2.62 Released 13 November 2010
Bug fix:
A bug that was causing TeboCam to only save movement detection every second has now been fixed.
The issue was identified as the timer working in seconds - the timer has now been changed to milliseconds.
The effect of this will now be that, on the alerts tab, the "Frequency of image file updates in seconds" text box will now actually allow you to save images in fractions of a second.
Webcam tab:
Two functions have been replaced with iconized buttons - check them out and see what they do...
A new iconized button now allows you to turn off the display of the webcam while stil haveing full alert etc functionality.
This new functionality will enable slower machines to minimise processor use for TeboCam.
Calibrate button - The calibration button allows you to determine movement over time and analyse this data.
Images and a csv text file are saved in the temp folder within the TeboCam folder.
The text file contains movement levels as well as the image that the movement relates to.
The text file can be imported into a spreadhseet to graph and analyse movement detection over time.
Plot the graph against the sequence and movement_level columns in your graphing/analysis/spreadsheet program.
If you do not have excel - google provide an online spreadsheet and open office also has a spreadsheet.
(Note that files in the temp folder are deleted when TeboCam starts up)
