I've have for Topica cameras running for over three years. No problems and good people to deal with.

I'd call really cheap. Panasonic makes a nice line of them, some even have remote pan/zoom via a http interface.
Try Ebay especially the Chinese, including Hong Kong,
suppliers. For
example compared to the English prices the Chinese prices are much cheaper. However one has to wait 2 to 3 weeks for postal delivery.
Delivery to the USA is usually quicker than to England. The Chinese preferred payment currency is USD.
Been there, done that. You're often much better off with known brands, like Logitech, for simple webcams on your existing server. I've used this effectively for rack security in a datacenter: as long as you're not polling the webcams constantly, they're not too bad of a bandwidth pig, either. They've been around long enough to be stable and workable in Linux, as well.
If you want a full-blown remote TCP monitoring system, look at Axis. They're historically very Linux compatible, they have all the features you might want, and while they're not cheap they have all the features you might need. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
