Thanks for that link. ZoneMinder is definitely looking in the right direction. 
This looks good in the "might use it for my house" sense, which is an upcoming 
project :)  I don't see anything about handling display of this many cameras 
simultaneously at the security consoles. In fact, their forums are full of 
people unable to get the remote displays working.

I did see that someone got it working for 58 cameras though so that bids well. 
I would just need to work out how to make them all display somewhere seamlessly.
