Hide Icons from Notification Tray

Okay, I've googled and googled. Here's the situation. My mother owns her own business, and there seems to be a thief. Now I've already installed a keylogger to monitor the system, however, I would like to install a security camera to record straight to the hard drive. The only program I seem to have found, that will record from the webcam to the hard drive is MS Timershot, however this does not have the capability to save a video stream. Now here are my questions: 1) Is there a program which will record a video stream from this webcam? Also, is it possible for it to record in the background? 2) If it cannot record in the background, or if I must use MS Timershot (which is unfortunate cause then I just have a bunch of pictures every 1 seconds…) is there a way to hide only ONE program from the notification area? I have googled a lot, and all I seem to get is how to completely remove the notification area, except this is not very useful at all, seeing as I need to be able to go into the notification area to view the keylogger. Let me know. Ps. It would be very nice to find a program which will record a webcam feed to my hard drive, whether in the background or not, I cannot seem to find this. Thank you! François Forrest

Take a look at this site here: http://www.webcamrecorder.com/ it seems to cover some of the things that you are wanting to do with the web cam as a Surveillance System. They even offer a free trial so that you can try the program out to see if it meets your needs. That is a paid software.

If you are looking for a freeware you can check out this site: http://www.yawcam.com/download.php . It's a freeware program and it only works with Windows.

In regards to the hiding just one program from the notification area you can take a look at this tutorial here: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76913-no…-customize.html

Hope this helps.
