How to trigger a recording via a motion detector

<Sorry>

Hello. Let me first say I don't even have a Linux box built. I'm in the evaluation of what to do phase, and I'm trying to research costs etc.

My old survellience system has 4 cameras, but the motion detection is horrible as any cloud shadow triggers it. I am discarding the DVR and keeping the cameras.

A friend has recommended ZoneMinder which brought me to this forum.

Looking at the documentation, it is possible to trigger a monitor (I assume it means to record the camera?) via an X10 device.

Can someone tell me
A) What device I use on the PC side to interface X10 to PC?
B) Which X10 motion detection device I should use to trigger monitor?

Thanks.
Jeff
