Motion detection, pictures and notification

["Ian B" <ian.bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

A friend mailed me a question and I would very much appreciate some advice
for my answer. This guy has just got a new fast PC (2.8 P4 etc.) and ADSL
but has no HA kit or experience. So, what he would like to do is:

I wish to have my pc detect motion , take a photo using the web cam (or
tvcard) and then email it to a specific address immediately.

I have one of the Trust 4 input CCTV type capture cards which I think would
do this but it is only installed, I have never played.

Can folks tell me their recommendation or their setup that does this
please.
I have no doubt that budget will come into this somewhere so better steer
clear of the mega expensive solutions.

Thanks

Ian
