webcamXP - freeware - up to 5 cams, auto ftp upload, built in server, easy

stumbled across a cool program the other week, WebCamXP, this program has been alot of fun. my webcam now acts as a security cam or snooping device while i'm away at work. I use it to automatically send pics to my homepage every few minutes. I thought other people here might want to play with this

http://www.webcamxp.com/

from that site :

webcamXP is a powerful webcam utility that allows you to share your webcam with everyone without having to set a web server on your computer. the web server is integrated to the software and needs only a few configuration parameters such as server port and local directory...

before i buy more cams, is there any conflicts in hooking up multiple webcams to one system? Anyone tried this? Currently I have a good Intel webcam, it dind't even require me to load drivers into WinXP. I looked around the web for webcam reviews and it seems the 3com Homeconnect and the Kodak 325 got the best marks. Most people thought the logitech and creative ones were junk, even the newer models.
