I remember that story as well, I believe he was using zoneminder. We
use this package at work, it is not an easy install with some USB
camera's although it has improved with later releases and kernels.

I remember reading about a guy from the UK who caught a thief who
stole his computer by having the entire incident recorded remotely,
including the face of the idiot as he walked over to pick up the
working computer.
Good luck.

My flats have had a series of fires (B****Y Idiots) and I want to
hook
up a webcam and record all the comings and goings from the building.
Fortunately I can do this from my kitchen window.
Is there a way to snapshot every second and discard any significant
duplicate pictures, pictures would also need to be watermarked
with the
time.
I then want to be able to replay a section of time that is the best
estimate of when the fire was set. I may not be home / awake.
From a hardware point of view, can I extend the USB wire as I need
about 3m extra. Would it still work.
