Motion is a C program that monitors the video signal from one or
more V4L2/video(4) cameras or network-based webcams, and is able to
detect whether a significant part of the picture has changed. Or in
other words, it can detect motion.

Motion is a command-line tool. It has a simple web interface as well.
Everything is set up either via the command line or via a set of
configuration files (simple ASCII files that can be edited by any
ASCII editor).

Motion can output JPEG/PPM images and MPEG video sequences, call
external programs, log to a database, etc.
