    I just bought a new laptop with a built in webcam. I am looking for some software that will start recording upon motion, store it locally and have the ability to upload it remotely (automatically).

    Also, regarding motion, I believe some will record 10 seconds or so 'before motion'. Meaning, I believe its always recording 10 seconds worth of video and then purging it, unless, of course, it senses motion. That way you dont miss the initial motion.

    The ability to view it remotely, perhaps via website would be a nice touch as well.

    Suggest your favorite software? There are a TON out there these days, was just hoping to get a list of the stuff worth checking out. Thanks
