Thanks to the admin for getting me on the right path

The family is going out of town for 8 days... I want to use my webcam to monitor my home while I'm away via laptop or another computer.... I found this website that allows you to put your webcam on a server. (free server is slow but hay it's free so what can you say right?)

I would like to use a free image capturing software that would record the images to my hard drive or other storage device.

Being gone for 8 days, what are my options? recording 24 hrs daily will eat up alot of harddrive space? Thanks for any and all suggestions and options... Remember it has to be free, mmmkay? (the trip is costing enough lmao )

Since I asked ya to post this, Ill put my 2 cents in.

I know this kind of technology exists. Here at work we use a software that does video capture (based on motion activation), but it doesnt do anything web based. And its not free (hope thats not the only qualifying factor because I dont think anyone gives this type of thing away).

My buddy has one with 3 webcams (one at each door and one on the garage), it can turn the lights on and off and do a bunch of other stuff all by remote. He can http into the server and turn stuff on and off at home. Its cool technology.
