Hello All,
I am here to ask a quick question.
Are there any short range(5inches) Motion Detection device for computers(US available? I need to write a software which detects motion and need to be able to capture that in a C# application and take an appropriate action. If you know of any, can you please let me know.
Thanks,
Have a good day.
