Over the past weeks I've been working on a security system based on the EFIKA. It uses a UVC webcam and software called Motion.

Motion captures images when motion is detected, creates an avi out of the images, logs the events into a remote MySQL database. It works nicely and the EFIKA is fast enough for this application.

Some additions I will add are the ability to inform users when motion is detected using SMS or phone call, both local and remote event logging (local in SQLite), multiple camera's per EFIKA, additional sensors, redundancy and tamper protection, etc.
