So a client just asked me if a could come up with a solution for him to keep in contact with his elderly parents. He wants a TV screen with webcam where he can Skype to and then it auto accepts the video call. When there is no Skype conversation he wants it to display photos from a remote Dropbox like location. Any tips?

I am thinking maybe an android box with USB webcam. Or perhaps a Intel nuc?

    The part about auto-accepting all video calls sounds legally and ethically very questionable. You might want to ask your client to reconsider that part before moving forward.

    @3141 I did! But the job will be signed by the parents themselves. But that was the first thing that came to my mind too

    Or you could toss them a laptop with TeamViewer or no machine installed. Then he can connect in and accept his own call.
