Most of cameras* have built-in event handling that will upload images to a server based on scheduled or triggered events.
You may also use an external recording application, Camera Station One supports recording for one camera/video encoder channel and is free of charge. 
The software will also allow you to view and manage a large number of cameras (export video as .asf file possible as well).
If you need more advanced or specific recording tools, there is a wide range of third-party software solutions available for Windows and Linux platforms.
