using isight to catch unauth logins?

hello all, im new here and just bought a new macbook! so im new to mac as well.

i work for 24 hours, and i leave my macbook at home...now my roommate has people over all the time, and i know they try and use my macbook to play music. but they always deny it.

is there a program or way i can use the isight to take a pic, and see what password they are trying to type when they try and login?

thanks much for your time!

Thumbs up iAlertU

Check out the iAlertU app from SlappingTurtle. It's like a car alarm for your Mac. It uses the motion sensor, keyboard, and mouse to detect attempts to access or move your macbook. It can optionally sound an alarm, take a photo, and email said photo.

If the original poster just purchased a new MacBook after the introduction of Snow Leopard, then it's safe to assume the new MacBook is running Snow Leopard.

iAlertU is incompatible with Snow Leopard. iAlertU apparently also does not run at the initial login screen, making it useless for someone who wants to catch attempted log ins at the login screen.

It was a bad-ass piece of software in its day, though.
