Have you looked at motion http://motion.technolust.cx/ ?  It
sounds from
your description that it already does everything you need it to, and if it
doesn't, the source is probably a good place to start!  You can define
areas of sensitivity (in colour/grayscale to have varying sensitivity in
different areas), and it can draw a rectangle around the detected
movement.  It also can create MPGs of the images, to save space, and email
you when motion is detected etc etc etc.

I've been using it a bit- it works very well.
