Yes, I am (planning to purchase the full version, eventually).

I ran into a serious problem when I tried using the "video on motion" option 
in 1024x768 mode. Basically, the software would create segment the video 
stream into about 4Mb chunks, and most of them would be corrupt. Must be a 
performance issue (3.4GHz Pentium D/3Gig RAM is not enough at this 
resolution, or possibly USB bandwidth is not sufficient).

Eventually I realized that what I really needed to use, was a "save 
snapshots on motion" feature. It works beautifully, saving 1.3MP shots at a 
rate of 1 image per second when there's motion. The FTP upload feature works 
great too, and although the program can be rather sluggish, so far it proved 
to be very stable. It even has a watchdog that can restart the main program 
when it crashes, and even reboot the entire system once in a while.

Roy, Richard -- thanks! :-)
