What do you mean by a console based tool?

If the night view is important, you can add an IR lamp near the camera.
This is usually a big improvement to the images at night.

Just get a "ip camera" then use a program called "motion" for linux, which can detect changes, and also record movie/timestamp etc, also support lots of camera's on usb etc etc, i would look at motion (i used that for a long time)

So an axis 1011-w or 1031-w should work???

That should work yes, with motion you can just point it to a weburl (to get the picture) and it checks the difference between the 2, thats how it detects motion. Since its ip based, you allready have a http interface. Only need to check if its day/night, has ftp and such.. but i dont see a reason to have ftp on a camera though (since you can use motion on a linux box and do/ftp whatever you want) but double check on the website to see if its all supported what you want.
