Use motion with a 'normal' webcam at low res, when motion is triggered, use the 'on_motion_detected' hook to call the raspistill command which then stores a full res image.
not the most elegant solution, but works well so far.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but RS are moving their ecommerce stuff and a load of other servers from a London data centre to scotland this weekend... nothing to do with the Pi per se, but it will be more robust so should cope a bit better anyway.
<t>I am looking at doing something similar, I already have a touchscreen system in the kitchen to use as a focal point...<br/> <br/> What I want to do is stream music to a number of players, but those players are connected to motion detectors... so the speakers come on and play if you walk into the ...
<r>I have already completed one of these, and it is something I am thinking of resurrecting when the PI is in my hot little hands.<br/> <br/> I got a barcode reader from ebay - £12, and much better than the trials I did with a webcam..<br/> <br/> Have a look at <URL url="http://www.upcdatabase.com/"...
