With an ordinary desktop video camera you can leave a PC or laptop alone to defend itself against thieves. PC Snoop ($99) is sensitive to motion, recording any activity within the view of your desktop camera (recording the movements of an intruder, for example). Plus, it can be set to trigger an audible alarm. When no motion is detected, the application goes into sleep mode. The syst
em can also be set up so that people can leave video messages on your computer. PC Snoop can protect a system with, minimally, a 75-MHz Pentium, 16 MB of RAM, and a parallel-port video camera.
