Tim's idea of a closed circuit TV is the best approach, and something I've been thinking of for a long time. By far the best way to interact with ... Thats cute, but depending on jurisdiction, you may have to inform he/she/it if they are being recorded, or open yourself up for a wiretapping charge.
Only if you're recording - the cheap X10 cameras work just fine with the back end plugged into a monitor rather than a recorder.

Gee, an X10 camera? I've never heard of one, where do you buy one? (Just kidding...)
Jim, you forgot to include the links to last week's Slashdot threads and the X10 website! Perhaps you'll be so kind as to follow up in multiple additional messages. Yours truly, Declan On Wed, Sep 26, 2001 at 05:44:38PM -0500, Jim Choate wrote:

Yeah, how "recording" got into the picture is beyond me. The idea is to have several of the wireless cameras at various places, to monitor. Recording is not needed, except maybe for the trial or inquest. In any case, there are various exemptions for videotaping: 1) People videotape others ALL THE TIME. Look at folks with camcorders. Are they getting releases from all those in the background of their shots at Disneyland? 2) Stores, gas stations, ATMs, all videotape. Sometimes they have a little notice at the front of the store, sometimes not. 3) I believe, but don't quote me, that image recording without _audio_ recording is exempt from the wiretap laws, anyway. (This came up during one of those "peeping tom cam" cases, where it was pointed out that no particular statute forbids such taping., (Specific laws since passed, of course.) --Tim May

Last time I looked, that was legal situation in California, plus or minus some embellishments. S a n d y
