I everyone, I hope this is the correct subforum!
I have used CHDK before for timelapses and some other bits and bobs, so I am not quite a noob, but by no means an expert either!
My grandparents car (and other cars) have been repeatedly vandalised. The police are pretty much useless, but I figure if I can get a picture of these people to report then it may help things along a bit.
I have an S3 IS, and a mains adapter. I was hoping I could set the camera up in a window, zoomed in at the car (12x optical should help!) with some sort of motion detector script. There seem to be quite a few scripts around, and I am not sure which would be best/easiest to set up.
Some of the vandalism has happened during the day, some during the night. Would my camera be alright running for a couple of days straight? Also, would the day/night cycle throw off the motion detection?
Sorry if there are lots of questions! I am worried about the safety of my grandparents, and just want to get these scumbags caught! Many thanks in advance!
