http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...9-6&T=12542556 - this is the camera i'm using. It's better for short range use than long range, as it loses sharpness over distance. And it doesn't cover a wide area that well - the areas outside of the centre blur as it goes further away. I tried a flexible web-cam, but framerate was poor, and doesn't work in normal daylight (the view is totally white). Colour is slightly green, a little dark at time (hence the need for colour/contrast adjustments), and doesn't work well at night..

The file gets saved using the divx codec (ffdshow ??)

You're right. I'm on Windows XP. Motion does look pretty neat, but i wonder if it just takes snapshots.
