Use WebCam to record (Including movement detection)
Solution 1:
You could try using motion (V4L capture program supporting motion detection), a command line only utility.
To install this from the standard repository, execute:
sudo apt install motion
It's been pretty useful for me. Keep in mind motion will not record any audio.
Solution 2:
-
ffmpeg
for video only:
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0 out.for audio and video:
ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg -
ZoneMinder surveillance system. Maybe the best and most complex open source tool.
