This seems like a fairly easy thing to do, so, what is a good program I can use to make time lapse videos of the exterior, I mean, I can leave the program running and it will capture what the webcam is looking at every 4 seconds for example and then automatically record it into an AVI?

Go to Store Settings -> Add -> File -> set interval to 1 minute, set the file as whatever.jpg, it doesn't matter

Then Options -> AVI -> check use AVI archive, choose whatever filename you want and framerate you want.

Basically the AVI captures whatever you have in that "Store Settings" thing. It's kind of stupid but it works.
