Re: WiFi/GPS Recorder

Some digitial cameras are capable of being used as webcams and some are not.
You will need to check the specs. You will also need to find 3rd party
software that will work with it - not always easy. If your camera is capable
of s video or video composite output. You may also be able to turn it into a
webcam using a tv card and streaming software. Digital cameras usually have
better image quality than your average webcam, but using them as webcams
drains the batteries very fast, so you will need an ac adapter.

Does anyone know of an easy tool that will record GPS coordinates for
areas where there are WiFi signals? What I am looking for is something
that allows configuration based on simple rules. Like "If the signal
is > 3 bars and it is an unsecure AP, record the GPS coordinates and
the SSID."

I know there is a wardriver project. However, I am a medium level
technologists, which is to say that I am an old-school programmer who
has transitioned into executive management. This means that I have
about a million responsibilities on my plate and can't pursue very many
frivolous diversions such as coding the things I want anymore. So, I
would research and write this thing but I just don't have time. The
tool I am seaking would be a simple, Windows installable that has a few
SaF parameters so that all I have to do is turn on my GPS unit and
laptop in the car- something I do everyday anyway- and have it capture
info as I drive around town.
