Title: Is it possible to make a cheap motion sensor video camera with this camera?

I just need to figure out a motion sensor and a recording device on the cheap.
I thought it would be cool to make it all from scratch but not the homebrew digital camera kind. any tips?

I think we think the same, Im looking into getting a kit to make my own beer, sure I can buy it but it would be so much more fun to make my own
