You might look at www.axis.com they have been in the market place for some time. There cameras are IP based and some of them have POE ( Power Over Ethernet ) capable. www.trendnet.com is another solution they seem to be cost a bit less than Axis. You might ask your client what other features they need such as night vision for cameras in the dark or outside. You also might want to tell your client that if they want to store recordings they will need allot of storage depending on there retention of video and how many months weeks or years they wish to keep it around. When I say allot of storage I do mean allot. I don't really want to go into the math on the list but I'm sure you can figure it out. Axis has a system for security cameras I don't really know how well it works and what not.
http://freshmeat.net/projects/zoneminder/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/devsec/ Both of the freshmeat links I listed above where written for the specific use of IP based camera footage storage and playback as well as viewing real time feeds. Zoneminder has been around the longest I have yet to play with or use it. Devolution Security is I would say about a year old project I have also yet to use it but I would eval both along with what ever commercial space products that you can find.
