Version: 1.01
This software is intended to startup at car-pc launch, in between your front-end. You configure this to launch, then this is configured to start up your front-end software such as Centrafuse.
The main feature of this application, is that it records audio from the microphone while it is on the access control screen. It is skinnable.
I have used this to record my car being serviced to ensure, for my piece of mind, I know how it was being treated while out of my sight. You may think up more interesting uses for it!
Full help file included plus MSI installer.

I was mainly worried about them slamming the doors, bumping it and then doing a hasty fix or taking it out for a razz. And of course taking the Car PC apart.
Plus it looks pretty cool and stops them messing with it. I could have taken a fuse out, but I figure, why bother if I can record them.

This like I said in the wheel control thread is the best tool to catch this guys in action!!! (down here in *hell* I mean miami mecanics they charge you tons of money for a simple job)
Also Stevieg what are the chances to implement the video in cabinet camaras to the APP?
Great idea, but im having a small problem. I keep getting a runtime error: 429, Active X component can't create object. Happens on both pc's.
There should be a 'Register AutoITX' shortcut in the start menu next to AccessControlOriginally Posted by vatik

It's simple to get it to capture from one camera in the background. I would have done it, but as I was covertly fitting my webcam I rboke a chip off it! Doh! So left it as it was with the microphone in the A-pillar (usually used for voice control) and wrote the software to that.Originally Posted by thanatos106
If you need video, let me know and I will adjust it.
