What can I do with an old(broken-ish) digital camera?
Dartful Dodger:
I was going through my electronics junk pile this weekend and came across an old Digital camera.
it's a 3.5 megapixel camera. It can take 30 seconds of 320x240 videos and the display screen works, but the photos it takes end up all white with thin black vertical stripes.
I don't care about fixing it, but I figured there must be something I could do with it.
Any suggestions?

Mount it in your front door and use it as a digital peephole.

That actually was the first thing to cross my mind.
I found a byo infrared camera page. Even thought the page claims it's easy, I think my electrical skills will put the camera one turn of the screw away from a rubbish bin.

I'm under the impression that that is your camera's current status anyway.

You can record 30 second clips but can you output a real time feed to a monitor with it? A lot of those cameras, if connected to a monitor in record mode, can act like a webcam.
