You can possibly wrap 'wget' in a script. I use it to copy streaming
radio, but haven't tried it on streaming video. When the file gets the
size you want, tell 'wget' to stop with
kill -s 2 $"WGETPID"
Move the file, and start "wget" again.

This is very close to what I do to grab still images. I already do
this with this camera and it works nicely: I grab images, save them by
date and time, and after a while create encrypted tar files of all
activity for every day.

What I want, beyond this, and that was my question, is to capture
video, not just images.

I'm not familiar with the camera in qusetion, but given it appears to
provide MJPEG streams (at least), I am fairly sure motion should be
able to extract this.

Maybe netcam_url ?

You are planning on storing these images somewhere other than in your
house then right?

Exactly. I have not done so yet, but that is my plan.
