Similar projects worth following
O right
So evryone know about cctv security cameras and that they are expensiv as hell but what
some peopel might not know is that they can build there own cctv with only some part that are cheap and have some qualti(some i didnt mean that they are high quality).
So i came up with this when my uncel ased me to build him a security camera for survialenc at night as his working station was stolen some part at night so i thought and i came up with this.The firs question that came to my minde was why not i could just buy a wifi 14$ camera with a 3mp cmos image sensor but why not use a 10mp sensor for the same price and a littl bit much more for the parts.Affter that i had to finde a recording softwear and evryone knoe moviemaker(easy,free) but there are thousnds of other programs that you can use.
Now i wanted to make it a littl bit much more better and adding a night vision ir led wich i dind add to my but it was a nice idea i might add it in the future.

O right so this project was came in my minde when my uncel had that littl problem it did cam pretty fast.This project is based on the easy,cheap,factor so basiclly for begginers

Sorry for the bad English but i live in Albania and i am not that good with English.

    Step 1

    Getting the parts.

    So the cat 5 cabel wasnt that hard to get you can get it from any store that sell electronic or you can get it from ebay.I got my from a store for only 30 cent a meter.And the usb over cat 5 you can get from ebay or a electronic store but i dont know if they sell these in stores so yeah i got my from ebay for 5 $ (really cheap) you can get a much more longer one but that will cost you much more.Ok so the tools you will need are all in the picture you wont need necessary all but it good to hove sometimes much more.

 This attack is specifically targeted at the victim's webcam, and hence the name confecting, a portmanteau of the words camera and infecting. https://prontx.com/
