I have a question about a USB webcam . it is possible to connect a USB Webcam C920 in pikrellcam . The pICAM works fine but would also like to connect a USB webcam .

USB webcams can't work because for motion detection pikrellcam depends on the motion vector data that the Pi camera software interface provides in the h264 video data stream. That data is not available from USB webcams.
