I want to use a webcam to remotely monitor my washing machine

Nice tech-related picture OP.
Guaranteed replies

There's gotta be some free software equivalent to Skype, try googling for something like that. Also install Gentoo.

Is Tox any good these days? I completely forgot about it

No idea, I don't use stuff like that.

You might want to use network block device.

Basically just buy a cheap webcam and use vlc to record the stream.

Sometimes the washing machine starts to violently shake if any of the clothes get tangled with the agitator.

I'm honestly more concerned about that than forgetting my laundry

I would suggest one of these OP.

>>59520492
Find a wire on your machine that changes voltage levels when its done, use raspberry pi to detect that change, and have it a send a notification to you phone. The easy way is the worst way.

There's a Linux package called motion. It will stream your web cam via http and you can view it live in your browser. It also does motion detection and can record on detection.

You do image analysis on it and detect when the knob gets turned to start the washer, then detect when it reaches the end and then send you a text.

You are committing crimes against humanity here, get with the fucking program

>>59520492
Use a fucking timer

It's not like laundry machines use microwave time, those numbers on the front are minutes

>Microwave time
Every time

Get IP Webcam for android, and use a web server on your network to forward it out.
Or just port forward the phone itself.

Does it do sound though? I tried setting it up and it doesn't appear to support sound
