  2. Have you heard about GotchaNow ? by Choron · · Score: 1 · on Using Webcams as Remote Security?
    There's a nice piece of software called GotchaNow that I use at home. It allows you to track any change in the picture recorded by a video camera and take some actions if an intrusion is detected (you can run programs, call a pager, ...).

    I've been using it for a while, and I'm really happy with it ; there's a new version that works with multipls cameras too.
    Now the problem is that it runs on Windows, so the solution may be to build a waterproof PC-104 system with a video capture module such as this one and plug it to some sort of radio-transmitter or cellphone.
    As processing the video captures requires quite some power, you won't be able to use the lower-end PC-104 CPU modules unfortunately, but you must be able to make a system for a reasonnable price.
