Motivation Introduction Problem Statement Proposed Solution Results Conclusions Future Work
Motivation
My good friend (and Landlord) likes to boulder
Bouldering: the sport of rock climbing on large boulders or low cliffs
He built a bouldering wall in our attic When we climb and want to take
pictures, it becomes a hassle and we don’t always capture the action

Introduction
Webcam’s and webcam software have been increasing in popularity
While normally used for security reasons, they have many functionalities
I researched Capture software Network storage capabilities Remote administration
5
Software Researched
Camlan Camuni Camzoomer iCatcher Netobserve uViewIt Wcapture Webcam tracker live
6
Software Researched Settled with
Windows Server 2003
Dorgem Real VNC Linksys backup
software

Problem Statement
How do I get a webcam to take pictures for me in close proximity while climbing?
How do I access those pictures anywhere on the network?
How to I maintain the server when it’s in the attic without input devices?

Proposed Solution
Steps taken to solve the problem Brainstorming Proposed solution with justification Arranging for software/hardware Assembly Testing & troubleshooting Verifying results
9
Server Box
512 megabytes RAM 60 gigabyte HD DVD-rom Logitech QuickCam cmmunicate STX
(1.3 MP) AMD processor Gigabyte wireless PCI card Gigabyte K8 Triton Mobo
10
Router and Network Storage
Linksys WRVS4400 V 1.1 Wireless-N Gigabit Router
Linksys NAS 200 Network Storage System Used DMZ
11
DMZ
Placed into its own sub network in order to protect the rest of the network if an intruder was to succeed
Hosts in the DMZ to provide services to both the internal and external network, while an intervening firewall controls the traffic between the DMZ servers and the internal network clients

Conclusions
Significance of results Back up your pictures over the network Activities which you want pictures of,
but have no one to actually take the pictures are now possible
Set up the camera at a party and capture throughout the evening
Other possibilities

Conclusions
Learning experience How to use DMZ How to use motion detection How to use a network storage device How to remotely connect throughout
the network

Future Work
Possible extensions Better webcam for more quality
images Recording video and images Other ways to utilize the network
storage device Any Suggestions??
