Haruman, why is PBJ's desire to use it for security a bad thing?

I don't think he wants it for security, lol.   ;D

That's exactly what I was hoping for.  

A couple jobs ago, one of my coworkers had someone getting on one of the lab computers after he left for the day, surfing 'inappropriate' websites.  For fun, he setup a webcam and some software that detected motion and then started recording just like you described.  He also captured the surf history, etc.  Sure enough he forwards me the videos of some cleaning crew dude with a vacuum on his back getting on the computer and searching for things like 'paladas vaginas'.   :laugh2:  The intense look on his face as he viewed the pages was so damn funny.  
I've also had stuff disappear from my desk at work many times.  Would be nice to bust someone with a motion detecting cam like that.

You want something like this camera:

It works by single presses of the power button & record button. Also you can run it in sound trigger mode, a 60db sound will trigger the record mode. The keychain one needs the power button held down to power on & the record button needs to be pressed for 3 sec before video starts recording.

You should hide the cam in a wooden duck--I mean mallard.
