Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Old Webcams? 258
An anonymous reader writes "I work as an IT administrator at a school. We have just upgraded our entire webcam inventory (about 45 webcams, model Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX) and have all the old ones sitting around. I would like to know what a neat project would be to make use of all the old ones. I was figuring there would be an open project somewhere that involved mass amounts of webcams."

Mount 36 of them in a ball, and then throw them up in the air!

Eh... as an admin he is probably responsible for the inventory, I sure as hell wouldn't ask if I didn't have to (which I don't :P ). Move up a bit in career and repost :)

Find a birds nest somewhere on school grounds in the spring, mount a camera and put the live images up on the net. Allow students to watch as the eggs hatch and the chicks are reared.
This gets really *really* interesting if you can do this for a raptor nest, such as a hawk.
That's not the kind of "chicks" that school IT admins record.
