how can I set my webcam for outdoor use?
I use it on a laptop to Skype friends and family and it is fine indoors but when I go outside on a sunny day the screen turns a yellow colour and no picture is visible.-   flemija

A company called X-10 makes some excellent gear for this application at a reasonable price. A lot of this gear is being sold on Ebay.
You can use an old PC and a router, and either use logmein.com (free version) to access the webcam software remotely, or make a free stickam.com account, and broadcast it live.
Take an old pair of sunglasses and tape it over the lens. Not very elegant, but it works well on my cheapie Hercules classic silver which previously showed nothing but a white blur when pointed out the window in bright sunlight. For best results I set the brightness, contrast, and Exposure to the minimum setting and the gamma to max.

yeah it can work but it will not record unless you have a video recorder on this. Mine only takes pictures i'm trying to find out how to take videos but yes. Everytime you leave the house you can record. Just get an extension usb cable and you can take it as far as you can.

I have a philips web camera that came with an installation cd. I tried to load the cd but it won't install. It keeps getting almost loaded, then stops with a message error 2.
