I'm planning to make DIY Home Surveillance. Now I'm looking for free motion sensor. I'm using webcam as a camera to detect whether there's a motion changes in my house. Does anyone know what is the best free motion sensor software? Also I want the software emailed me if someone tried to breach my house. Currently I'm using PC with Windows as its Operating System.
Thanks
here is a nice DIY tutorial:
How to use your PC and Webcam as a motion-detecting and recording security camera
and here's a specialized shareware program ($25):
SupervisionCam captures and compares images from video cameras at intervals you define. It starts optional activities when a movement is detected.
If you use Linux, I know there a packages that does what you want. It can even email you with the video where something moved
