If "Motion" is what I believe it is, I set it up a few years ago. This is from memory, as I do not have access to the system. I set it up to drop jpegs into a directory as fast as it could, which was slow but it was exactly what we wanted. I had a cron job run every X minutes and convert the jpeg files to an mpeg movie and delete the jpegs. The mpegs were dated and stored in another web accessible directory. It worked quite well. I still have one of the early test videos up on my web site: www.patshead.com/movies/tram-and-stuff.mpg That was the view out my office window, and it was a real mpeg generated by the system. It started "recording" when the tram cam into view, and stopped when it was gone. It is only a handful of frames, but it was perfect for our purposes. Pat
