If the idea of a networked security camera that you can remotely view and receive alerts from appeals to you (but the $$$ of a commercial model does not), read on as we show you how to turn older generation Android phones into sophisticated security cameras.Well, we hate to presume, but we imagine you opened this tutorial because you have something you want to keep on eye on.When the osprey mother began neglecting and attacking her chicks in 2014, anxiety exploded among some viewers, as did demands that the institution intervene to save the baby birds.When the same thing happened in 2015, the public passions took a more personal turn.

But while hacking using trojan horse viruses is the most malicious way to infiltrate a system, shifty websites sometimes use basic techniques that take advantage of human behavior patterns.The osprey cam at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is trained on a nest near the Massachusetts seaside, and the pair that call it home are now waiting for three eggs to hatch.But for the first spring in a decade, the camera is dark, and a note on the institute’s website offers only a two-sentence explanation.“Regrettably, the cam will not be operating this season due to the increasingly aggressive actions of certain viewers the last two years,” it begins.That is a staid reference to cam fans whose emotions about the nest morphed into vitriol — and fighting words.
