I've used camsource and motion which have features sure as recording movies, 
motion detection and calling external commands. Motion is probably the more 
sophisticated. Both work with video4linux. I compiled both from source for 
a suse installation so don't know if there are debian packages but I don't 
recall compiling being tricky if there aren't...
