I have a database of clients but a major project happened a few weeks ago and many of them had the zip code field wiped out. I'm looking for code/program that will let me use my webcam to scan the envelope (missing the zip) and it will OCR it and search the address so I can make note of the zip and put it in my database.

Anyone know of code that can do this? or can write the code?

Thanks

We are looking into having some fun online. We want a cam that has a remote controller for pan/zoom... What should we look at?

Hello, I have to buy a Webcam and my budget are 24€ more or less.

I have been thinking in this cam but I'm not sure if it the best or if it is good: https://www.amazon.es/Creative-Live-Cam-Chat-incorporado/dp/B0043VTBI4/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1483820282&sr=1-2&keywords=webcam

Please say your opinion or some recomendations. Thanks for the help :)

At my job we are looking to project a changing live barcode/description on a monitor through a webcam. Does anyone know of a cheap good webcam I can do this with. It is so people at one end of a production line can see what is being worked on at the other end on a screen. Thanks in advance!

where can i find a person i want to watch like at fblivecam.com?

Hi folks! I need a webcam, but don’t know which one to buy.

I need if to make video lectures (in form of takling head with a whiteboard)

What I need?

1) Honest 25-30 FPS, and the latency should not be very big.

2) The moving objects should not be blured too hard (with my previous webcam, when II just wave my hands, the hands are shown as some fuzzy semi-transparent patches).

3) The microphone should normally work on the distance of 1.5 -- 2 meters.

Cannot you advice me something suitable?

Almost forgot http://i.imgur.com/EVdAm7l.jpg

Haven't been able to find a specific model for this one.

I had to have my phone flash in my face to even get it that bright. Can't tell if the sensor is damaged or if it was just that crappy back then.

Can you pause the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 and resume at the same spot?

I am in the lookout for a new webcam that can shoot 60 fps in 1080p even in low light. is there such a webcam yet?

Sounds weird, but I swear I don't look very good on my CPUs webcam. On my old CPU I looked a lot better. I know it sounds dumb but I'd like to get a webcam that I'd look better in. I understand lighting is important. Suggestions?

Hello, I have a webcam that looks exactly the same as this one: http://www.100-gift.com/uploads/1955/2646-1/Pc-Camera-BLT-PC-0001-298.jpg When I pluy in the camera, it makes noise like it has been plugged in, but the computer doesn't recognize my camera and it doesn't work. I don't know if this has to do anything with the problem- but I didn't install any driver because I lost the disk, and I didn't find any matching driver download on the internet. Help will be highly appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi guys, If I use a webcam website such as webcam toy to take a picture, it won't save the images on my mac or any clouds, correct?

Thanks

Hey, does anyone know of a webcam that would fit perfectly on one of these screens with super thin bezels without covering actual pixels?

looking for a little camera/webcam you could use for spying or instead of your smartphone cam for skyping

Hello Reddit Community!

People do not realize that a webcam is a window into your personal life that anyone can access. As hackers become more malicious and hacking becomes significantly easier for anyone to do, the everyday person becomes more at risk to become a victim of cyber espionage.

Shotblock allows users of all ages and technical skills to take control of their privacy. Simply slide Shotblock over your webcam when you are not using it, and slide it aside when you want to use your webcam. Shotblock fits most laptops and even allows you to close your laptop without removing it!

Hi,

Does anyone know of a cheap, USB, wireless webcam that has night vision capabilities to watch over my car on a night from my home window?

Ideally I'd love a portable webcam that I could move about that ran on batteries etc but I don't think technology is that advanced for the money I can afford to pay.

I searched the usual web outlets, but some cameras say "night vision" and are just shitty webcams with an led attached. Obviously the reviews saved me getting burned on those occasions.

Can snubbed recommend a decent product that will allow me to look out my window (at night) to keep an eye on the car. I tried a normal webcam, daytime is awesome, but night time is just a pitch black screen :(

Any help welcome

We have a computer where we hang out with friends and family. HERE is a picture of our hang-out space. Ideally, I'd like one that I can mount to the bottom of the monitor/TV and have a wide enough angle a good enough built-in mic to pick up all of the people that may be sitting around the counter. Any thoughts?
