I recently bought an Axis network webcam. Haven't done too much with it yet 
(apart from a memorable live link up to Montreal a couple of weeks ago), but 
it is capable of detecting motion & sending a shapshot as an email via an 
external modem. Watch the DP act though - there are some restrictions on what 
you can do here.
