this would be cool…
Software for camera surveillance with motion detection; works with any USB or IP camera. On motion detection, the program starts recording and a message is send via email and/or SMS. For support, see the support options on www.raskenlund.com
yes it is very cool. i have been researching ip surveillance systems for the home for when i move into the city 
I'm not familiar with this one. I'll definitely give it a look. I
have had good experiences with ZoneMinder, though:

Been a while since I've actively worked with it, though and it looks
as though a few more versions have been released since then. I had
been brought in to tie it into an old commercial Pelco PTZ system for
the Northside COP but the project got put in indefinite hold.
