I'm setting up security cams in the shop, essentially webcams plugged into a XP lappy. It's a logitech webcam. I want to simple "preview" or see what te camera is seeing on the laptop screen.

The app that comes with the camera only give a tiny window of the view, even though the cam is capturing a much bigger image.

What is out there that will allow me to preview/see a much bigger image?

You could try using a magnifying glass.

Aye the cable was here the night of the premiere, but we were a bit distracted that night...

I'll drop it in unless some wee ****es tries to blow up the Ormeau Bridge again tonight...
