Since I had a nasty note left on my car the other day, I’ve finally gotten around to playing with some surveillance camera software for my PC (the kind that detects motion in the picture & records about a minute of video before & after the motion, then uploads the video to an FTP or Email account in case the PC is stolen), but I’ve had limited luck – Most of the affordable software I’ve tried is buggy (either records too much or too little video, or the FTP & email functions are flaky).

Anyone have a “favorite” software package?

I’ve managed to find some pretty cheap analog 2GHz wireless night vision cameras & capture cards, though, which seem to work ok for the job, although the ones I really wanted (IP cameras that could just be picked up by my wireless network hub) were too pricey.

Thanks!
