Should i record a video for 6 hours with my webcam?

[Sharif]

I just want to try an experiment on myself while i sleep and want to review the footage tomorrow 

 

Webcam HD 3000 MIcrosoft 

 

Will it damage the webcam anyhow?

You might disturb your webcam, that's about it.

[JuztBe]

If nothing magic or paronormal happens, camera will be fine.

[Sumsar]

It won't damage your webcam. The real question is: DO YOU EVEN STORAGE BRO?

[othertomperson]

It'll make for the most boring home video of all time and use electricity unnecessarily but it shouldn't break it.

[C0LL0SS0S]

I don't think the Cam will get any damage, but the Video itself will get pretty long maybe try burstshots.

[AlwaysFSX]

Should be perfectly fine unless it overheats.

I doubt that it takes up that much space.

Yeah i thought about it  

I might have some 50 gigs free

No damage should befall the cam but you will likely have crap video quality... and can you actually store that much raw footage, and do you really wanna watch 6 hours of you sleeping? sounds like watching paint dry...

[Zeke]

Unless you produce massive blasts of IR waves while you sleep, you'll be fine.

Air conditioner will be on all night

I will just skip through it,i always wondered how do i sleep

Depends on whether or not it is HD footage. 6 hours of wmv footage is like 20+ gb, if not more.

Then I say go for it. Maybe you'll find out you're secretly a teletubbie.

[Bogica]

Or just set it to record on motion and save yourself the disk space and constant activity?

How do i try that?

Storage 1TB WD HDD and 500GB WD HDD

I doubt sharif doesn't have the space.

You should be fine. Unless you're recording at some uber high res.

Yep, he said that he had 50 gb free. Which is enough unless he is recording full HD footage.

Yeah i have the space just spread out through partitions 

[Sharif]

I almost filled up my internal storage... (NO SD card) 

[Sumsar]

Sorry if this is weird question, but why are you recording your room while you are sleeping? Just dismiss this question if you don't wanna answer it.

I am actually recording my bed but i just realized how will it record anything in this pitch darkness...
