I use the "Webcam" package.

With a config file cobbled together from bits I found online.

I have it set to archive locally every image, and only take a picture 
when the image changes by a certain amount. It also uploads the latest 
picture to my website.

Sometimes I make a time lapse with the pictures using mencoder:-

mencoder -ovc lavc -mf fps=25:type=jpg 'mf://*.jpg' -vf harddup -ofps 25 
-noskip -o out.avi
