Search the web - there's come stuff on motion detection and computer vision with opencv and simplecv. Worth it just to play around.

This is the A board so its got less memory, no ethernet and 1 USB compared to the B board. But the idea is its lower powered so you can power it from a USB battery pack. And just use a USB hub and ethernet adaptor to set it up.

This is what inspired me http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/4799 time lapse in a coffee can !!

  Just to clarify, only the A board on it's own can be USB powered. If you connect the camera module, it requires an additional 250mA, bringing the total power draw from an A spec board up to ~750mA. USB spec defines maximum power draw of 500mA.

  the A's are only $28.50 on there own, is a glorified webcam really worth an over $20?

  i have a couple of RPi B's and there ok tho quite slow depending on what your using them for (im using it to graph temperatures etc with cacti but its to slow to do remote webcam as well) i think my next toy will be a beaglebone black

  the beauty of all these boards tho is theres so much range now that you can choose the best board for your specific need.

    Apparently intel are launching a Pi compatible board in the new year, better specs all round.

    Edit: nope, my wrong.. It's Arduino compatible, got the 2 confused!
