corsaman132 Â Â 10 #2 Posted July 4, 2012 I wouldn't have thought it would overheat as long as the fan can get air to it.If you're worried,get a laptop cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

neeeeeeeeeek   10 #7 Posted July 4, 2012 If your laptop overheats it's not fit for purpose. I set up a wireless IP cam CCTV system using Wancam camereas (Ebay) and one of the various free / cheap cam software aplications you can download. It runs on a pretty low spec PC so no reason your laptop would struggle, but as MOS says, it's a bit of a waste depending on what you plan to do with it.

muddycoffee   10 #10 Posted July 4, 2012 IP camera is the way to go. You can get a great wireless one from Ebay, delivered for 40 quid. Plumb it into your home configure your router and you can see the image on any smartphone when you are out and about, and move the pan and tilt. I've got one and they are superb.
