If such beasts exist, I don't know about them. However, I am currently
working the bugs out of a software/hardware combination that takes
images from a wireless camera (fed into the computer via the composite
video-in jack on my 7500, snags the images, and (with another program,
also being developed/bug-swatted) turns them into "stop action" movies.

It seems to me that the software is the most difficult part of the
system you're looking for - It seems that everybody and his dog has
written something like it for Windows, but so far, I haven't seen diddly
for the Mac.
