Portable Security SnapCam

A friend told me that she was worried her new roommates were breaking into her room while she was gone. Thinking the idea was some crazy spyware gadget, she suggested setting up a camera and motion sensor to catch the person in action. I told her I could make that, and therein was my (or rather our) idea for MHacks. I also thought about other purposes. With the PIR Motion Sensors we're using, the range can go anywhere from a foot to 20 feet, so they can also be used as portable security systems for laptops or rooms. This could allow college students and others who use their portable laptops in public to leave their computers with a bit more reassurance than relying on that stranger across the room they just asked to "Watch their stuff." (Don't hate, most of us college students do it at least one time or another) The Portable Security SnapCam senses that a person has come a bit too close for comfort to your laptop and snaps a picture of them with your webcam while at the same time producing a loud noise or "Help! I'm a Laptop about to get stolen!" to possibly scare off the potential robber. During this, using Twilio's texting services, the SnapCam will text you, letting you know that its sensor was set off and giving you the ability to end your break early.
