It is possible to take webcam screenshots instead of continuous video surveillance recording, taking screenshots will save hard disk space when storing them. The free service is capped in data storage, with paid for options giving you more space allowing for more webcam snapshots to be taken per hour and more cameras to be connected.

Another option your readers might be interested in is called http://www.camcloud.com. Concept is similar – you can manage a webcam through your browser, with motion detection, archiving of motion events, etc. They have a few different spins on the concept, so it will probably boil down to personal preference. Again, just FYI for your readers.
