Today, I would recommend you to use the OpenJDK 11 (LTS) found here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/ Yawcam still works with java version 6 to 8, but could then get some problems when the computer hibernates or goes to sleep. Using java version 9 or above will handle this better. The latest java version w...

It looks like outlook.com requires STARTTLS as encryption method:

I'm glad to hear that the darkness filter turned out to work pretty well for you! As you say, it sounds like your setup is close to ideal for this scenario. A follow up question: Does your camera have IR-lights? My guess is that the darkness filter would work better with IR-lights disabled on the ca...

Nice, I'm looking forward to hear about the results from your tests when they are ready. Regarding the future version, It all comes down to the graphics card if you will be able to run the object detection with decent performance or not. I will have to make more tests on different hardware before I ...

As a "teaser": A future version of Yawcam will be more focused on motion detection and surveillance. It will use machine learning to detect objects in the video. This eliminates a lot of false positives that you get when you only compare pixel changes. My tests so far looks promising. :D It will how...

I guess a "darkness filter" only will be useful in the case where you have lights controlled by a PIR. But in that case it probably can make some difference for the number of false positives. It's never as simple as a single if-statement :D But this change was simple enough. Try this new beta versio...

It's sometimes tricky to get an acceptable level of false positives, especially during night time.
Are you using the motion detector with "auto level" enabled or disabled?

I would recommend to have it enabled.
I also recommend you to use the "Reference image" algorithm.

Yes
I'm afraid this function got abused by spam bots, so I had to disable it for now.
I will have to make a new release of Yawcam that handles this without using an external web server.

Until then, this function will be broken. Sorry about that.

But thanks for the feedback
