Is there an app that will start recording once motion has been detected in the camera? sort of like a security camera?

Someone keeps walking behind my desk at work, and stares at my monitor when she is passing by, and I want to show the boss.

Check the laws in your area concerning hidden camera / recording. If someone does help you get the n900 to do what you ask, you don't want to get in trouble with the law...

there is an app that will change my n900 to an airplane too

I wasn't asking the impossible. such programs exist for PC's with webcams (like one called drogem ) . I really don't see the need for such a sarcastic remark. Thanks.

Dchky made a deb package of motion. You can find .deb file and .conf files here. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but he says it works. Just be sure to take note of the things he says in post, namely, do 'mkdir /var/run/motion' and use 'motion -c /path/to/motion.conf -n' to run the program.

There is a command-line program for linux called "motion" that I have used with webcams before. I am not sure if it would be possible to port it to Maemo and get it to work with the N900's cameras.
