I had the OSX version of surveillancesaver installed on my mac, but when I upgraded to Snow Leopard it quit working. Found out it was written in Quartz, so I re-compiled it with the new version, and got it working again.
Then I found out that the guys who wrote the original went on to found the Public Viewpoint Project, which searches for publicly available webcams and creates an RSS feed. I can't find their web site anymore, but the RSS feed is still up. I added to the screen saver the ability to connect to their RSS feed, d/l camera URLs and test them out before showing them.
I recently created a Google Code space for it, it's available here: http://code.google.com/p/surveillancesaverosx [google.com]
It still has some bugs, if there are any "expert" Quartz developers out there, I'd love to get some pointers.
