A few months ago, in my spare time, I created the Inhouse Camguard app to experiment with some AForge libraries using C# and WPF. The AForge.NET Framework is easy to use, and I can create many great applications with it. The purpose of this app is to automatically detect motion in a video feed from a webcam and plot a continuous graph showing the sensitivity of that motion. The app can also perform data logging and capture a static image of the video when the motion sensitivity reaches a certain threshold.
