I don't think the unit itself does this (or it would mention it.
Vince/Martyn?)

If you wanted to DIY, a quick and dirty recording mechanism would be
a simple script which periodically called wget, a well known
opensource http web retrieval tool for win & lin. I don't think
motion detection via direct image analysis is possible unless you do
a major hack on the box (which looks like it might be an embedded
linux box?). PIR triggers + script, or post-capture analysis on the
wgetted files should work though.
