EyeSight Turns Your iSight Into A FTP-Enabled Webcam

2:00AM Adam Pash | Mac OS X only: Free application EyeSight takes time-lapse photos with your Mac’s built-in iSight camera. EyeSight is very customisable, so you can set your photo intervals anywhere between 10 seconds to 999 days, save the images in whatever format you like, and upload the results to an FTP server of your choosing (or just save them in a local folder). If you want to eventually turn the results into a video, I’d recommend previously mentioned Gawker, but if you’re more interested in something like a web-enabled security camera, EyeSight is the way to go. EyeSight is freeware, Mac OS X only. Windows users, check out previously mentioned YawCam. If what you really want is to beef up your laptop’s security, we’ve got you covered there, too.

Vidnik Records and Uploads Video to YouTube

12:44PM Gina Trapani | Mac OS X only: Fresh from the Google Mac workshop, new video application Vidnik records clips with your Mac’s camera and uploads them directly to YouTube. You can use Vidnik to create a video diary, or just to quickly record a video comment to attach to an existing YouTube video. Vidnik works with the built-in video cameras on recent Macs, with FireWire video cameras, and with many USB video cameras. You can also drag and drop existing video clips on your Mac into the left column in Vidnik to use it purely as an uploader. Vidnik is a free download for Mac only.
