I use motion with a 4 port Brooktree-based card and a near-infrared camera to watch my motorcycle. The camera works great in total darkness and I've used the mask capabiltiy to stop the motion detector triggering for every passing car, but only when someone walks onto my property.
I haven't tweaked motion to get it to watch all four cameras on my property, but I'm working on it. The mpeg capability of mpeg is a nice toy, but not useful in a security situation. In the remote situation, motion would email you if there was motion detected, but I guess that a shellfish farming operation probably has a lot of motion due to waves, wind, etc. Rain can also appear as motion unless some tuning of the motion detection is done.
