Turn it into a motion-sensing security camera with freeware application Yawcam. All you need is a webcam to get started, but after spending a little time in the Yawcam settings you can set automatic FTP uploading, emailing, or just saving captured images to your hard drive. You can even set a schedule for when Yawcam is enabled to capture images so your security camera isn’t constantly snapping pics while you’re sitting in front of your computer. We’ve seen similar motion detecting software, but Yawcam looks like an excellent and simple alternative.

If it's video support works, it might have already beat what Yawcam offers. Yawcam is good, but there are things that could be better. P.S. Does anyone know of any applications such as this for Mac OS X?

http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/
opensource, ability to capture video and motion detection.

I just took a look at Oovoo and it looks quite promising. I had never heard of it before. I assumed it would be a Skype-like app at first, but it seems impressive since it can do a video confrence with up to six persons. (Skype is still limited to one-on-one for video chatting.) I'll take a further look into this soon! Thanks for the tip. @Molly

Webcams really are THE tool these days. I love the idea of playing spooky sounds when the machine detects motion. Imagine a would-be thief running with fright, as your computer lets off 'fearsome_yell.wav' or something similar. Also, don't know if you guys have seen it, but I work for Oovoo which is a super, and completely free, way to web-conference with upto 6 chums at once. Perhaps you could show a load of people how to make security cams. Take care Molly x Wow - that’s a really cool idea. Webcams really are THE tool these days.
