I've got my Philips SPC900NC webcam taking videos with the streamer command from the xawtv package, but I'd like to use a program to record videos based on motion detection. zoneminder looks good but seems difficult to set up and would be overkill. motion looks about right, but segfaults for me like this:
# /etc/init.d/motion start * Starting motion detection ...

Is there another program that can take videos based on motion detection? - Grant
