One of the early Foscam pan-tilt-zoom IR cameras? Your dad did better than I did. I liked the hardware, for the price point, and wasn't aware of alternative firmware. I ended up putting it on its own LAN with an old OpenWrt router, and kludging simple motion detection with a little program that ran on the router. (Script pulled frames from the camera with some HTTP interface using wget or curl, and used ImageMagick for the hard part.)

Foscam sounds familiar. My dad just mentioned it in passing.

My dad is also retired. And the only thing he doesn't seem to be able to do is nothing.
