I do not know about Motion, but there are liveCD's for ZoneMinder, or you can just download it and install it on a server box running a LAMP server. I built one up here at the plant the other day it runs with no attention needed, the client side is a web browser, so any- one who wants to monitor or check the cameras can just log into the web site and look at the cameras, or if they want they can look at the capture history.
ZM captures as JPG images, it eats more disk space but my experience back in Tampa was that if you had a event where law enforcement was involved, they were most happy to take those JPG images, whereas the other home security camera systems that were available did not even interest them. When my neighbour had the break in I gave the PD some images, they came back and asked if I had more, I told them I kept 6 months of history, how much did they want, they asked for it all. I burned it to a CD and off they went quite happy. I actually had a telephone sales guy try to tell a friend of mine that law enforcement was not interested in home se- curity video, my friend knew different as he saw some of the same video that the PD took, and knew why they took it.
