motion uses a video4linux device for detecting movement. It makes snapshots of the movement which can be converted to MPEG movies in realtime (or later for low CPU usage), making it usable as an observation or security system. It can take actions like sending out email and SMS messages when detecting motion.
The video4linux loopback device is a device driver which generates video pipes. It allows a user program to feed a video stream to another as if it were coming from an actual video device. It can be used for video filters, or for realtime viewing of the output of the "motion" program.
