Colorado-based hacker Dox has written some Python and teamed it up with a webcam to monitor his pet remotely. The script listens to a specific email account and when a specific email is received it takes a snapshot and emails it back to the sender. Fantastic way of doing on-demand snapshots, I tip my hat to him.

I appreciate the shout-out. This is an evolving experiment, and I have a number of additions in the works now, particularly in the area of motion activated capture. Stay tuned!
You’re welcome – I’ll keep an eye out for more news of the project. As owner of a wonderful Staffordshire X English Bull, I’d _love_ to know what he does all day!
