Hi All,
I would like to setup a WebCam server for a relative of mine who
started a kindergarden.
He wants to be able to see who is comming / passing outside for
security and ID purposes.
I thought I could install some WebCam server distro on an old PIII
machine, connect a couple of USB WebCams to it, hook it to a broadband
internet connection and - presto !
I thought it would be cool to offer the parents to take a peek at
their kids while theyĆe napping...
Any suggestions?

sounds what you really want is motion. it does pretty much all that.
AND, makes movies of movement, so you have records of what's going on.
runs multiple cams, or one.
