Can someone tap into video onli

Can someone, if they know enough about the technology, tap into a video that is being sent through a Web cam? Can web cam video be captured by the receiver to use and play back later?

Hi,
It is possible and I have heard of one or two Trojan (malicious programs) software that can activate a persons webcam without their knowledge. Any up to date spyware/anti virus program will be able to spot these application. To intercept a webcam video while streaming over the internet would be technically very difficult. It would be far easier for a party to hide their own wireless camera(s) in the area and therefore not rely on the PC being on and the installed webcam operating.
Hope this helps,
John

    Need to know if someone can hack into my MacBook Pro even if it's not connected to the internet and both Wi-fi and Bluetooth services are off? Can someone enter my system even if the settings at System Preferences > Sharing are all off?

    And you can't turn it off or your computer won't work, however saving grace is the hacker has to be pretty close to your machine to do it.

  • How can I tap into the yellow diskette icon?

    FORMS Builder 10.1.2.0.2
    I have a data block that is updateable / save using F12 or by clicking the yellow diskette (save) icon. However, is there a way I can tap into that? What I mean is, I would like to Insert into table2_log(with details - date, who on the update) when I click save or F12 in addition to updating table2.

    Thanks for your suggestion, MLBrown.
    I created POST-UPDATE trigger on the the data block and it works as well.

  • Can someone help with video viewing?

    I just got a new MacBook and downloaded some videos into it. When I play them they are playing full screen instead of in the little viewing box at the
    bottom corner. I expect there is a preference to select this but I can't find it.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

    Never mind....I found it. I should have looked harder before posting.

  • Can someone export my video for me?

    The Project wont open on my Mac so if someone could try it on theirs and if it works, export one of the sequences for me. Let me know if you want to try
    my email is [email protected]

    For anyone to try what you suggest, they would have to download all your captured video files etc. which would almost certainly amount to many gigabytes.
    This could not be done over the internet.
    It would be more useful if you posted exact details of your project and settings etc. and then someone might be able to spot what you are doing wrong.

  • Can someone hack into your ipad and send emails?

    there is an email in my sent (yahoo) mail that says "sent from ipad" but i didn't send it. how is that possible?

    There is no way to remotely control the iPad. If your Yahoo account was hacked, someone may have picked up one of your more recent emails sent from the iPad, and used the same signature. "Sent from iPad" is just a line of text that is put in there by default by Apple, but can easily be replicated or copied (or changed).

  • How can I get into video tutorials through PSE 10?

    When I click on video tutorials in the help menu, I get an error message that I have to open a web page. My web browser is working just fine. Am I overlooking something?

    No, but they aren't there anymore. Adobe moved all the tutorials to tv.adobe.com, so just point your web browser there instead of hassling with the Inspriation Browser anymore.

    How to enable your computer software firewall to "trust" the other computers on your network ---  this depends on which firewall you are using.   Check the "Help" in your computer software firewall.   In most firewalls there should be a "Network" or "Trust" tab or option.  Look in there.  To setup trust, most firewalls will need either (1) the "MAC address" of the computer (or router) that you want to trust, or (2) the LAN IP address of the computer or router, or (3) a range of LAN IP addresses to trust.
    For option (1), you will need the MAC address of all computers on your network.
    Option (2) usually works best if you need to specify your router ( at 192.168.1.1 ).  Note that the LAN address of computers can change.
    Option (3) works well if it available because you can specify 192.168.1.0  thru  192.168.1.255 as the range to trust. 
    When you specify the computers and router to trust, specify each device just one way.  That is, do not list the LAN address and the MAC address of the same device, use one way or the other, but not both.
    If you need more help, please specify your computer software firewall.

  • Wireless Signal Weak - Tap into Outside Box Coax Cable and Convert to RJ45 Somehow?

    Garage PC is too far away from Verizon Wireless Router MI424WR.
    The cable from the underground comes in at the garage and is tantalizingly close!
    Can a 75 ohm video type splitter be installed at the garage and some sort of converter box be installed at that point to convert the signal and provide a hardwire connection to the network card in the garage PC?
    If possible, does Verizon have this converter for a reasonable cost or can you recommend an alternative?
    Can an extra STB from Verizon be installed and use the "ETHERNET" RJ45 connector on the rear panel?

    The underground cable is fiber.  You can't tap into that.

    Yes.  You can tap into the coax coming out of the ONT and use a MOCA bridge to provide an ethernet connection in the garage.
    See the following FAQ:

    VZ does not sell MOCA bridges.  See the above FAQ for sources of MOCA bridges.

    No.  The RJ45 connection on the STB is not active.

    Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
    If that is the case, either
      - switch to "original/optimized media",
    or
      - create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

  • Can someone tell me how to put some tunes and videos into the cloud to free up download space?

    Can someone help me figure out how to store songs and videos temporarily in the cloud so I can free up more download space? Thanks.

    You don't actually store anything in iCloud with regard to media files. iCloud backs up your purchases. You can delete the songs and videos from your iPad and then download them again via the purchased tab in iTunes.
    This only applies if you purchased the content from iTunes and if you use the same Apple ID to download them again that you used to buy them with originally. Not all movies are available for free downloads either. Not all iTunes purchase are available for downloading again in all countries.
