SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND SETUP
=============================

PC Private Eye enables your PC to monitor your home and office
while you are away.

In order to use PC Private Eye, you must have the 
following configuration:

- Microsoft Windows 98(R), Windows ME(R), Windows NT(R), or Windows 2000(R)
- Pentium processor with 32 Meg RAM
	(64 Meg Recommended)

- A digital video camera.  The camera should be installed, drivers installed, 
  and operating prior to attempting to configure PC Private Eye to utilize it.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Your computer desktop properties should be configured such that 
  resolution is at least 800X600 with at a minimum 16 bit (high color)
  color resolution.

- Cameras that connect to a video-capture card will use less of 
  your computer's processor than cameras that connect through your 
  computer's parallel port. It is recommended that you do not use 
  a color parallel port camera unless your computer is at least a 
  Pentium 133.

- If you are not sure whether or not your camera type is supported, 
  install and run the un-registered version of PC Private Eye.  If 
  video doesn't work, then you shouldn't purchase the product.

- The un-registered version of PC Private Eye will only monitor for 
  motion detection for 30 consecutive minutes.  After that, a message
  will popup indicating that you are running the un-registered version.

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

2. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click PC Private Eye, and
   then click Add/Remove Programs.

VIDEO
=====

- To use this product, you need either a video-capture card 
  and camera or a video camera that connects through your 
  computer's parallel (printer) port, or USB port. 

- Multiple video devices are supported as long as they are of different types.

- If your video device and associated drivers are not properly 
  installed PC Private Eye will indicate that it cannot find the camera.

- Cameras that connect to a video-capture card will use less of 
  your computer's processor than cameras that connect through 
  your computer's parallel port. It is recommended that you not 
  use a color parallel port camera unless your computer is at 
  least a Pentium 133.

- You cannot run another application that uses the same video device
  as PC Private Eye while running PC Private Eye.

- If some areas of your video window contain the wrong colors, 
  your camera might be aimed at an area with insufficient light. 
  Some video drivers might provide a low-light filter option.

- If you are using the video features in a dark area, some 
  cameras will cause your computer to become extremely slow 
  and unresponsive.

- This product has not been tested with black and white cameras.
