More automated video security

As PCs and their web-cams are becoming more cost effective, software suites like this can now be used as extremely ‘intelligent’ solutions for monitoring a home or business. This software has the ability to detect motion on any of its cameras, and then begin to record to generate notifications. What was really impressive was that it even supports multiple zones to monitor within a single camera image. The screenshots give a more detailed explanation of the features.

As I get some time … I might give this a try. I have some ideas on what I can do with something like this …
