Logitech webcam motion detection, wake on motion possible?

Question

My Logitech C270 appears to be capable of motion detection, but the only thing the software can do is record when motion is picked up.

If possible I would like my computer in sleep mode to wake up as I sit down at my desk, if the camera detects motion. While I know this is completely unnecessary, you have to admit its a pretty cool little project.

Is this type of thing possible? Running Windows 7

Answer 1

It's only feasible if the entire motion detection is done in webcam and wake up the host via USB. As such, I believe most consume grade webcam requires the PC to assist in the motion detection, so it won't work if the PC is suspended.
