It's possible to use a web cam for surveillance video, to protect your home and as powerful source of evidence, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In case a crime takes place on the premises.

yes but your cam may not get at things properly and stuff like this can get expensive. check out your nearby spy shop for more details you be suprised what something simple like a lipstick cam can do!
