So its Saturday afternoon and you have nothing to do. As you glance around your room you spot a half full beer, a webcam, and that linux box that you have been wondering what you were going to do with. Seriously, why did you buy that piece of crap webcam anyway? A quick google search reveals that you might have a hard time even getting that thing working in XP, let alone your preferred OS of choice, OSX. =)

Ok, I know what to do.  First dont drink that beer.. Its old. Throw it away and clean up your room a little bit. Then go get another beer -- and lets try to finish this one Nancy. As you sit back and nurse your new beer you notice that your Asus EEE with BackTrack4 is in a somewhat different place than you left it. Instead of simply plotting your revenge on who ever you feel deserves the blame, lets try catching them next time red-handed.

The following will walk you through setting up a video-surveillance system that will detect motion, enable your webcam, take pictures of the intruder, and upload the pics online and notify your cell phone via an twitter SMS message.
