Don't know if this will help, but Microsoft has a powertool called WebCam Timershot which may be of interest. I don't know if it only works on XP.

He wants to record the video (or stills taken every second or two) to the hard drive but only when there's motion outside. He also wants to be able to login over the net and see what the webcam is recording currently at any time. Anyone ever set anything like this up and have suggestions? T
