A webcam is a motion capture device that transmits a digital signal to your computer, usually via USB. A security camera is usually sends an analog signal to a VCR or other analog monitoring or recording device. A webcam can be used as a security camera with little difficulty, but an analog camera cannot be used as a webcam without major modifications.
