Watch some hours on a coded channel and then lay your fingers on the cam.
It's not "cocking" but it's definetly not "cool". :-))

The main-problem with that isn't watching, but recording. I had serious
recording problem when the CAM was "hot".

When you use the PCI-Version a "Titan System Exhaust Blower" works great.
For the 3,5" Version i put a plastic-card half into the CAM (Software
Updates are great <g> and now i know for what (usefull things) a "Payback"
card can be used <g>) and placed a 5cm Cooler on it. (That looks cool <g>)

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as 
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
