Re: Webcam..someone must have thought of this?

You can do this with ZoneMinder (http://www.zoneminder.com) and make it
send out X.10 on motion on cameras, or the other way round triggering a
camera to record on an X.10 signal. xAP is also supported via a
contributed plug-in, which will shortly also be included in the base
release.
