There is cx88 in the ports which will cover a lot of pci devices, and
webcamd covers just about all the rest. Then use mplayer or another tool
to record the stream.
And if you're real tricky you can set it to record at a specific time
and shut off at another specified time... :) I wrote a script for this;
a bit hackish, but it gets the job done. I have to clean it up someday
when I have the spare time.
