Web camera with motion sensing recording

[Cakraki]

Which web camera comes with auto recording option. I want a camera that can start recording when it finds something moving in the area. This would be really better. I want to install this at my cabin. I had tried to find some models, but I can only find security cameras which are costly. I do not require them. I just need a simple webcam which has a trigger to start recording only when someone is moving.

Most of the web camera that we see online does not has that features. This kind of options are only available in security camera. You will require to use some kind of software which can help you to do that.

Being a free tool it offers you a set of different features.There are two version available. One is a regular desktop client and the other one is a server client. That you can simply configure to control multiple camera. But I do not thing you really need that. You can just start working with a simple desktop based client. It has a very simple interface. It is configured on startup. When you start your pc the software starts working. It is a fully featured software that has ample of security features. You just require to hook the camera and configure the software to work. It has a timeline also that gives you recording information. It only works when there is a movement.
