What software can I use to create a "security camera" with my webcam that continuously records and AUTOMATICALLY removes old video when full

I should be able to leave this software running for months without any user intervention. It needs to record video and audio and most importantly automatically remove old video (e.g. only keep last 7 days of video).

Please don't provide links random webcam software that you found on Google. I know how to use Google. Please only include software that you definitely know has the feature mentioned above. Thanks!
