I know I read somewhere about a webcam cache, can someone explain how that works?

From the Wiki (
http://wiki.opencaching.us/index.php/Cache_parameters):
These are caches that use existing web cameras. The idea is to get yourself in front of the camera to log your visit. The challenging part, however, it that you need to call a friend to look up the web site that displays the camera shot. You will need to have them to save the picture to log the cache. If you are a tech-head you could use your wireless modem and save the image yourself on your laptop.

I though about setting up one of mt wireless cameras, that will save when motion is detected, and post those pics on my page, for anyone to take, but problem is I live too close to a school
that might not go over too well...lol

Meh, it's a security camera. They can't really say anything about it...I wouldn't think.

Take a look at one I put out if your looking for an example. A reliable website is key for a web cam cache
