I think you will get far better video quality using CCTV cameras than a webcam on a USB port.
you may think that, but those solutions you mentioned are all NTSC composite video, while even a $30 USB webcam now days is 2 megapixels or higher.
anyways, the OP wants cameras that connect to the network and get their power off the ethernet cable, not a USB or a CCTV camera.
Trendnet has some. You'd need to get the java plugin working to view them in a linux browser - not sure about full-time recording software. If you don't have enough to justify a POE switch, you can get individual power bricks that plug into the line to add power at a convenient place.
