good point! As you can see, I'm new to this as well!

OK, I live in a condo, but pretty confident that I could mount a camera above the garage and no one would notice. I would like to have one camera, looking over my short driveway. I already have a server and a lot of storage, so that's not a problem either. What I want to do...would have a camera with motion detection...and when it sensed motion...it would snap pics every 10 seconds, for a minute or two after motion stops. These pics would be stored on the servers HD. I'm not concerned about audio, or controlling the camera left/right, etc etc. Just a simple camera that does what I described above? Could someone make some recommendations of hardware and software if needed? It can be wireless or not...I have a spare bridge that I can use. Thanks in advance!
