I am looking for a software product that was reviewed by Roger Chang
of the TechTV show..."Call For Help". I think it was on the Thurs or
Fri before Labor Day. It was some kind of camera control software. It
allowed someone to use their camera in time lapse mode. Also, it would
activate your camera if someone moved into the field of view of the
camera and then stop the camera again after the activity stopped
similar to a surveillance camera.
     I have searched the archives of the show and emailed all persons
related to the show, with no success.
     Please help...thank you...

Hello.

On August 30th, the Friday before Labor Day, TechTV actually showed a
rerun of a show that had been previously broadcast on August 6th.

According to TechTV's web site, on the August 6th episode, "Chris
Pirillo and Roger Chang show you how to use a netcam to create a
powerful home surveillance system." As indicated on the web page, this
episode "last aired on Friday 8/30."
For complete details of the episode, visit TechTV's web site:

Apparently, Chris and Roger actually reviewed three different camera
software packages: Homewatcher, Eyes & Ears, and Gotcha!

Your description about the movement detection feature sounds a lot
like "Homewatcher":

Eyes & Ears by Intech:

Gotcha:

search strategy: "techtv", "Call for help", camera, software, motion

I hope this helps.
