Webcam file naming for motion capture?

Is there any way to get image files saved on-motion but with sequence number names, not date/time names?

I'm trying to have my Home Automation system (Indigo) do something based on motion detection, but can't figure out a good way to determine the current file names.

    Sorry, there is no setting in the software to do this, however what you could do is write an AppleScript that is triggered upon motion detection (as an Action in SecuritySpy), that then tells SecuritySpy to capture a sequence of a few images files. The script then has control over the file names. The "Regular Image Capture" example on the SecuritySpy AppleScript Examples page gives you a good starting point.

    Let me know if you need any further information.
