So I want to do some time lapse movies with a camera pointed out over my back yard. Can anyone offer any good suggestion as to how I might go about it? I can't be spending tons of money on hardware, $200 or less preferably. What I'd like to do is put a webcam inside a weatherproof housing and connect it to the Mac with a USB cable, then control it using EvoCam.

But every time I think I have it all figured out I run into a road block about this camera not working with a Mac, or needing Maccam, except that Maccam sometimes interferes with Evocam, etc. I looked at the Logitech Vision Pro, but people keep saying it has issues as well. It just shouldn't be this hard. I just want to hook up a simple, inexpensive webcam to the Mac so that I can use EvoCam to do some time lapse movies, but its just one road block after another.

Has anyone ever done this type of thing, and if so, can you offer some suggestions as to how to go about this. Any suggestions on cameras that will work with my Mac and EvoCam? Any help would be appreciated.
