There's a few questions out there but none of them seem to have answers which fit my needs.

I need a webcam software which can record video when it detects motion, and a few seconds after the motion. Ideally it would not save as JPEG files because those become huge and unwieldy. I tried Yawcam, but that is difficult to configure, doesn't always go off, and saves a TON of jpeg files.

Is there a simple webcam software to detect motion that works on windows that is free?
