Can I make my computer webcam into a motion-sensored cam?

I need a security camera so I wanted to use my webcam on my laptop to record a room when no one’s home, but I want it to ONLY start recording when motion is detected. Is there a program that I can download for free that uses my webcam to record using motion detection and captures a picture or video when motion is detected? It would be better if it could also have an option of sending the picture via email or phone to myself when it is taken, so I can know when to rush home. I have heard of programs that do this and more, but they are complicated and not free.

Additional info I don’t know if this matters but:
I’m using Windows Vista and I have a webcam built into my laptop (but there is no motion detection option.)
Please help this is urgent!! I will give 10 pts best answer!!

Can I legally monitor my side of the dorm room without my roommate's knowledge?

My friend has a very important question… Lately, he’s been suspecting his roommate of messing with his things in his absence in the dorm room.

His laptop has a webcam on it with a motion detector. He decided to catch his roommate in the act. He set up his motion detector and positioned his camera to his own side of the room; you can’t see his roommate’s side at all. He caught his roommate on webcam messing with his stuff.

He wants to file charges because his roommate stole something (only worth a few bucks, but still.) He wants to show authorities that he caught his roommate stealing, but he doesn’t know if it’s legal or not to monitor his own side of the dorm without his roommate’s knowledge.

Is this legal? Thanks.

Software to turn programs on or off?

So i have software to turn my webcam into a security camera that uses motion detection and sends out an sms or email alert, but i wanted to be able to turn it on or off with a simple number code or something without having to turn on the screen. and since i can’t find a version of the software i’m using that is open source, i was hoping to find a separate program that i could turn the security camera program on or off without having to turn on the screen.

so if anyone knows of such a software, or a good open source security camera software i could use with pc. i would be very grateful.

Does anyone out there know of any similar product?
